[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The 20 min shift seems reasonable.  People who complain about that option have no credibility. [/quote]

Are you kidding me? First off, 20 minutes is just meaningless.

Secondly, like other posters, my kid goes to a Tier 2 school which does not start until 9:15am. Kids are not allowed in the building until 9am. That makes life very difficult for working parents. When I tell people who live elsewhere how late school starts they are often shocked. As it stands now, I have to go in late and work late to accommodate this late start time and avoid paying for before and aftercare. We cannot afford to pay for both and neither can many families at our school.

On top of all this, my kids are routinely up at 6:30am so they have 2.5 hours every morning to fart around before school, it is way too much time.

Any bell time changes will anger some part of the population but if they are going to do it, at least make it meaningful.[/quote]

Agree 100 percent.  I responded with this issue the first time MCPS a asked for community input.  I was annoyed they asked parents to email a second time this year.  Did they not read the email responses the first time or did they not like the responses they received.[/quote]
