[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I love the idea of late starts for so many reasons 
- kids can sleep in (great for MS and HS)
- easier for me as a parent to go in 2 hours late than come home early (this is likely family specific)
- also easier for a conference for some parents
- better for professional development - I've found teachers more focused for morning sessions than afternoon when they are exhausted from teaching a 1/2 day

However -- I think it is harder for many families to get their kids to school or plan for child care in the morning.  Also - to count as a school day, lunch must be offered, lunch periods start extremely early in some buildings so that scheduling could be difficult.  [/quote]

You can go in later but many of us cannot and taking off the afternoon is better for me.  Kids cannot sleep in if parents have to drop them off early as there is no bus.  [/quote]

Yeah obviously different people have different work schedules and preferences. I’m not so sure the early release is easier for more people than late start. I’d be curious if they did a poll. [/quote]
