[quote=Anonymous][quote]Every parent who is claiming option 2 is better should go visit a late ES at 3:15. It is hard enough getting them to learn anything between 3:00-4:00. Add in an extra 30 mins? The hardest hour of my day is the last hour because my kids need to be doing benchmark and they are done. Neither option is acceptable.[/quote] I don't know this teacher, but I do know that every word she says is true. Late starts for elementary school is truly a terrible idea. And, while it does affect working parents in a negative manner, that is not the issue. The instruction of the children is the issue. I taught for years--generally 8-3. After 2 p.m., young kids need easy, stress free instruction. [/quote]
