[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Teens need more sleep and a later start time would help with that, but it would also disrupt the scheduling of other things, impact family life, and cost the school district money, so it’s not changing any time soon. [b]The kids just have to get through it, the way generations before them did.[/b][/quote]

My high school started at 8:30. All of the schools started at the same time.[/quote]

That's nice mee-maw, tell us more about life in rural Kentucky.[/quote]

It was in the 1980s, in a small city. The difference, then, was that most of the kids in the city were able to get themselves to school by walking, biking, or public bus. Most of the kids who got a school bus to school were the rural/farm kids.

In any case, the point is that no, not all kids have been having to deal with too-early school start times for generations. [/quote]

But they have been in MCPS, which is the school district we're talking about and the one the PP was referring when she mentioned sticking it out like previous generations.

No one cares what you did in a small city's school district in the 1980s. [b]It's not relevant and comparable to MCPS in 2023.[/b][/quote]

-What would it take for MCPS to be able to start all schools at a reasonable time?
-How about, if most of the kids could get themselves to school by walking, biking, or public bus?
-Shut up, that's not relevant, nobody cares.[/quote]
