[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, have you stopped to consider later start time would be an issue with activities and homework?   If kids don't get home till 4:30, everything would just be shifted later and kids would go to bed later, so that really doesn't fix anything.[/quote]

That's funny. My younger kids go to private school and go to bed at reasonable times, even with activities. Late start times are so much healthier for teens. It's not like there is any medical expert who disagrees. It's funny how so many people claim to be concerned about kids' mental health but aren't willing to entertain this universally agreed-upon adjustment that would benefit the health of teenagers.

Agreed. And for all those who wring their hands about the complicated logistics of interchanging HS and ES start times, that’s reflective of MCPS leadership in general. Anything too-hard should be abandoned rather than assembling a team with problem solving skills to figure it out. Later HS start times are actually becoming more common so there are likely more examples across the US than there were even a few years ago.[/quote]
