[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I just moved to MoCo and am shocked by the late elementary start time! That's going to be a major adjustment.  My kids will enjoy the long morning at home, though- I think.

Also, I went to a HS that started at 7:30 and that was just awful.  I remember being tired all the time and constantly late.  Makes zero sense.[/quote]

Before the pandemic we put our elementary school kids in before care. Now that my spouse has a flexible work schedule and can work from home most days, he can drop them off by 9am.
I think that switching the elementary school and high school start times, although not ideal, would be better than what we have now.[/quote]

This option was thoroughly discussed both of the previous times MCPS studied the options. MCPS decided, on grounds that you personally may disagree with, that it would not be better than what we have now.[/quote]

Sounds like MCPS decided it would be easier on them not to change anything.

MCPS did make a change, though. So: no.[/quote]

Yes, just not the right change.[/quote]

"The right change" means the one you wanted.[/quote]

The one that prioritizes the physical and mental well-being of teenagers, yes. [/quote]

No. The one you wanted.[/quote]
