[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]MCPS looked into this several years back and ended up adjusting times by 20 minutes. (HS used to start at 7:25 am!)

We spent tons of $ and time to move the school day 20 minutes a number of years ago. Not worth the effort to have them adjust the schedule 10 minutes more. Central office is really opposed to significantly changing the start time for high school. Supposedly it will hurt brown people. My kids were at a majority brown school and none of those parents seemed to care, but, central office apparently has the pulse of the people![/quote]

Some HS students need to leave school early enough to get to a job or to pick up their younger sibling from elementary school. [/quote]

And all HS students need to get enough sleep - that t should trump the need of some HS students to end the day early. [/quote]

Not if you have to be at work from 3-7 PM every schoolday to help your parents make ends meet. BTDT as an 12-17 year old. Anxiety over food, shelter, and clothing will keep you from getting that extra 90 minutes of sleep. [/quote]

The kid has to work excuse is nonsense. [/quote]

Only to spoiled rich people living in their spoiled rich bubble.[/quote]
