[quote=Anonymous]Long commutes are not good. It's made our time at SJC less appealing each year.  A 20 minute commute to HS is the max that is reasonable unless it is a special situation.  Don't believe me? Ask AI: 
Impact on Academic Performance: Research indicates that long commutes can negatively affect students' academic performance. A study by the University of Toronto found that students with longer commutes tend to have lower grades and less time for homework and studying .

Health and Well-being: Long commutes can lead to increased stress and fatigue, which can affect students' physical and mental health. The American Journal of Preventive Medicine published a study showing that longer commutes are associated with higher levels of stress, less time for physical activity, and poorer sleep quality .

Social and Extracurricular Activities: Extended travel times can limit students' participation in social and extracurricular activities. This is crucial for their social development and overall school experience. A study by the National Center for Education Statistics found that students with shorter commutes are more likely to participate in after-school activities, which are important for their social skills and personal growth .

Attendance and Punctuality: Longer commutes are linked to higher absenteeism and tardiness. A study in the Journal of Educational Research showed that students with lengthy commutes are more likely to miss school or arrive late, which can disrupt their learning process and lead to lower academic achievement .

Considering these points, it's clear that long commutes can have several detrimental effects on students' lives, making it worth seeking schools closer to home whenever possible.
