[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.  [b]Thousands of kids have gone through middle school with the current times with no issues.[/b][/quote]This. 
I bet most folks complaining here will have rising 7th graders. They need to calm themselves down. Don’t mess with what works. Suck it up. [/quote]

Looks like the maggots are out in full force today. I have several neighbors with kids that were in 7th & 8th last year and they all said their kids were miserable, tired all the time, and never wanted to do schoolwork because they were so tired. And one said it impacted her child's extracurriculars, too, to the point where she dropped travel basketball.[/quote]
