Agree. It’s so short sighted to say your 8 yo isn’t a “morning person.” How do you think it’s going to go in MS?[/quote]

I was that 8 year old who wasn't a morning person.  I'm an adult that's not a morning person.  And surprise, surprise, I have a child that's also not a morning person.  There is nothing shortsighted about it, it is what it is. 
 Pretty much the entirety of life is a bit rough when we are set up to live and work in a system where early to bed and early to rise, is considered the norm.[/quote]

Agree.  I'm that not-morning person.  My mom was too.  She's mentioned that my grandfather was as well.  There's a genetic component (some interesting studies exist about the extremes of morning people and night owls).  Getting up for elementary and middle school were hard for me.  Highschool was awful; we started at 7:30am and I was a zombie.  I just powered through for 4 years.  I never took early-morning classes in college, and as an adult I've been lucky to be able to adjust my work schedule to be the "late" person in my office (starting after 8:30am).  I went into having kids thinking they would wake up early and I'd struggle because I don't do mornings well.  Well, my DC has never, ever, been a morning kid.  Once DC was really sleeping through the night I never had to deal with 6am wake-ups.  DC has always been the kid who wakes up at 8am or later.  A really early day is when DC gets up at 7:30am.  And I'm very aware that middle school and high school are going to be hard, but we're in a district that doesn't start at 7:30am, so it won't be totally awful.         [/quote]
