[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It takes 6 weeks to adjust to a new routine, ie, have your body wake naturally at the expected time each day. So, it doesn't really matter at this point. Use this opportunity for leverage: lay out the options to your teens, tell them they can choose, and then remind them how wonderful you are the next time they complain about you.

In fcps, the middle school starts so early that most kids never naturally wake up[/quote] fortunately some states are passing laws against this requiring that schools start no earlier than 8:30, maybe one day all states will.[/quote]

This won't be possible in places like FCPS, LCPS, MCPS. The bussing requirement and shortage of drivers makes it a total non-starter. [/quote] from what I've read if a similar law were to pass in Virginia they would have to make it work or they would lose state funding.[/quote]

The school boards of FCPS, LCPS, and MCPS all are constantly pushing back against the state on evrry issue (transgender, snow day allotment, starting before Labor Day, you name it) and are not threatened by "losing state funding".
Take a moment to scroll through said forums. You'll see how crazy it gets.

Having said that, FCPS already pushed back HS start times  a few years ago. It exacerbated the school bus driver shortage, bus routes, and cost a TON of money, etc...on top of the county being absolutely massive with a super high density which made for another unique challenge.[/quote]
