[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Option 2 is the obvious choice. Survey results have to be tilted like 90-10.[/quote] In what universe is starting elem at 10AM the "obvious choice"? What 2-working-parent families are going to be able to make that happen? Paid before care will be the *only* option and slots are often tough to find already. At least starting earlier you'd be able to take a lot of the older elem kids and let them come home to an empty house; it's not as easy to have the elem kids get up and put themselves on the bus by themselves. Option 1 seems to be the obvious choice to me. Younger kids circadian rhythm means they all basically wake up with the freaking sun anyways. My elem kids CAN'T sleep past 7am- so why not have them go to school at the beginning of the day, then when they're done they'll have time to come home and play outside? [/quote]
