Personally I'm not that big of all of this talk about changing bell times.  Although I don't have any kids in school yet.  I'm guessing that this is all based off of some random study that everyone decided to take ahold of and is now a fad or a big thing.  In twenty years there will probably be another study that refutes this one.[/quote]

This is a great example of how if you don't have a clue about the issues or the research, have no real idea about why parents are lobbying, then why wade in? Because person-without-any-kids-in-school-yet, your "guessing" is way off.[/quote]

Well like others said.  The bell times have been in place for at least the last 30 years or so.  When I was in high school, I think schools started around 7:30 .

I think the number of people that actually care about this matter is a really small fraction compared to the overall population.  They're just the louder group that makes a lot of noise.  From what I heard, there were only about 25 people at the sleep in for bell times outside of the Board of Education building earlier in the week.  And that's families.  So maybe two to three people per family out of that 25.

Yeah if you ask high school students if they want more sleep, of course they'll say yes.  But as a whole, I don't think this is as big of an issue or will have as big of an effect as people say or think.[/quote]
