[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Seriously, ladies, enough already. The science is in:

This staggering of start times is 100% bass-ackwards.

Board of Education Approves Later School Start Times
Level	Time	Length of Day
High School	7:45 a.m.–2:30 p.m.	6 hours, 45 minutes
Middle School	8:15 a.m.–3:00 p.m.	6 hours, 45 minutes
Elementary School Tier 1	9:00 a.m.–3:25 p.m.	6 hours, 25 minutes
Elementary School Tier 2	9:25 a.m.–3:50 p.m.	6 hours, 25 minutes

So, let's say we flip that around.  Give High school and Middle school the last two slots.

High school then gets out at 4:10.  So, they START after school sports, jobs, and HW at 4:30?

That's not sustainable for most families, unless you don't value family time at all, or don't value your kid having sports, arts, employment etc . . .

It's a matter of prioritization. No reason kids can't do sports in the morning.[/quote]

How about kids who need to work?  Or get home before a younger sibling or neighbor to provide childcare?[/quote]
