[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Many after school activities can be before school instead. And the school district's mandate is to provide education for our children in a healthy environment (and healthy start times are backed by research)...not to make sure kids can go to clubs. I'm incensed with the SB for lots related to the boundary review and programming, but making the start times change is in line with their responsibilities.[/quote] Is there any scientific research backing that the optimal time to teach kindergarten how to read is at 4 pm after their morning activities followed by the day of schooling?[/quote] Does any parent who has seen a kindergartener at the end of a long day actually need a study to determine this? (Yes, I know there are those rare kids who love to sleep in until 10 and do their best work at 6pm even when they're 5, but those kids will struggle with 7:30 am basketball practice, so...)[/quote]
