Like I said, the science is pretty clear that sending High School students to school at 7:45 is damaging. At the bare minimum the start times should be reversed. HS students should start at 9, elementary schoolers at 7:45. As far as after school jobs and sports, I would think that education and student's mental health should be the priority here.

PP, you may be surprised to learn that all of these issues were explicitly addressed when MCPS made their bell time decision in 2015.[/quote]

Sure, it's too bad the kids' weren't prioritized over the convenience of adults back then.

^^^How not to persuade decision-makers to change a policy.[/quote]

Very true. These decisions aren't made based on the evidence. They're oriented around satisfying a few well-connected interest groups.[/quote]

Ah yes. The vast reach of low-income parents as a powerful constituency. [/quote]
