[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I wonder what is happening on the progress with middle school start times. My youngest is starting 6th this year and I want the change to be asap!![/quote]

Nothing is changing b/c they do not have the funds to hire redundant bus drivers and buy hundreds of new buses. The little amount of changes for TJ/AAP these silly posters are suggesting would be a drop in the bucket.

Your kid will suffer like all the other FCPS MS kids before and after him. You aren't special and neither is he.[/quote]

Then why did they even bother with having all those meetings?

The plan is they [b]draft bell schedule options in Fall 2024[/b] and makes a [b]school board presentation in January 2025[/b].

We will see.[/quote]

Praying they can make it work!!!![/quote]

[b]Why?[/b]  Thousands of kids have gone through middle school with these start times.  Your kid will be fine.

It's clear we can't afford the buses or the have drivers to make it work.  Move on.[/quote]

What a stupid question!!!![/quote]

How so?  Did you drink the Kool Aid about later start times?  I feel bad for you.[/quote]

You don’t understand why someone wouldn’t want to have to start school at 7:30 am?[/quote]

Sorry, you can't operate a $3 billion school system on the whims and desires of one person who can't get out of bed.[/quote]

No where in my post did I say that. I simply said I hope the start time changes and I hope they can make it work. [b]As to why? I think we all know why.[/b] [/quote]

Please educate us as to why.  Thousands of kids have gone through middle school with the current times with no issues.[/quote]

There are obviously issues, or else why is there a discussion about changing the time?[/quote]

Exactly. PP is being deliberately obtuse. FCPS itself initiated the discussion on middle school start times. They are aware of the research that shows it’s better for pre teens and teens to get more sleep.[/quote]

LOL, none of the predicted improvements ever happened when the high school start times were changed.  Changing the middle school start times would be just throwing more money away for no reason.

The "research" is bunk.[/quote]
