[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]9:20 is already late enough to manage, 9:50 is just nuts.   [/quote]

I doubt anyone would pick this option, although I would personally love it.  I am not a morning person and neither are my kids and my MS kid is suffering. Anything between 8-9am would be an improvement without crazy late school day when kids get off the bus in the darkness. [/quote]

9:50 start time will have kids getting home past 5 and it will be dark. [/quote]

The 9:50 option was only for ES, not middle school.[/quote]

The 9:50 schedule actually is perfect for middle school.

It will keep them out of trouble from 2:30-5:00, getting them out of school around the time their parents get off work.

Unfortunately,  there wouldn't be enough teachers to staff that late of a schedule

And what about the time before school? Middle and high school starting later is better than ES starting later because middle and high-schoolers can get themselves to the bus without their parents having to be home but thats still time they wouldn't be supervised and could get into trouble.

High schools need to keep their current time schedule.

High school grades are the only grades that matter for college admission.  Their sports, jobs and activities often go as late as 10PM, and again, are the only ones that matter for college admissions.

Middle school is only 2 years, and their grades and activities have zero bearing on college admissions.  The least convenient schedule needs to remain with the middle school students.[/quote]
