[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Only two middle schools have a later start on the new schedule and only by 10 minutes at the longest. With all the outcry about teens needing more sleep, they overlooked the fact the middle schoolers are in that very same demographic.

Elementary kids can handle an earlier start better physiologically, but parents don't want the daycare hassles. So by all means, let's leave tweens home alone in the afternoons. that's a good age to be unsupervised.

2 years as opposed to 4 years.  Ideally, all the start times of schools should be better.  But you do what you can do.  [/quote]

They could have moved elementary times earlier. Then middle and high schoolers both could have started at a reasonable hour. But the wailing over childcare issues drowned out any productive conversations. (and yes, I work full time and have elementary school kids. I know it would have required some rejiggering of my schedule, but you do what you have to do.) [/quote]
