[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It actually makes perfect sense.
1) they only want to know how it affects middle schoolers who are actually in middle school. Not a kindergarten or senior parent.
2) if they move middle school they have to move everything else. Options include 10am elementary school among others. So they have to ask how time changes will affect other grade levels. 
3)They have received enough opinions, they want facts. Is your child actually not getting enough sleep or do you just not like it? What are the ramifications on families of changing times? 
4)There was a comment area so you were free to put in a comment. (Although I took both a staff and parent survey so I might be mixing those up). [/quote]

You are definitely mixing them up and no, it doesn’t make sense. The questions only asked if we are OK with our elementary school’s current start time and where our kids go to school. That was it. And who cares what parents of current middle schoolers think? Those kids will be out of middle school by the time they implement this change. I have a fifth grader who it would actually affect, yet there was no avenue to express my opinion about whether or not I think middle school start times should be moved. Nor were there any questions associated with ramifications. I guess your education degree didn’t go over survey design. They really could not have written a worse survey if they tried. [/quote]
