[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Homeschool. Or get your kid to bed earlier so they get enough sleep. Mine gets up at 6:30 and goes to bed at 9:30, which is 9 hours of sleep.[/quote]

Thanks but I don't need parenting advice.  :roll:

Then why are you asking for advice on a parenting board?[/quote]

Asking for schools with later start times it’s not the same thing as asking for “parenting advice.”  Are you really that dense?[/quote]

Is OP’s Google broken?[/quote]
When I was trying to figure out start times for the schools we were looking at because it impacts commute times, which were an important factor for us, they were really hard to find for some schools. Not all of them list them clearly or at all on their websites.

Also, everyone snarking that OP is trying to get schools to work around their schedule, that’s just stupid. They clearly are not demanding anything of schools that don’t have a later start time. OP is simply asking for information about a criteria that matters to them. It doesn’t have to matter to you.

For those saying do you think college or bosses will cater to a later start time? Newsflash—yes. You get to set your own schedule in college. Is it a guarantee you’ll never have an 8 am science lecture? Of course not. But it’s definitely a possibility. And all of my jobs have started at 9 or later. My husband starts at 10 and works later because that is what fits his personal priorities, so he found a place to work that lets him do that. Is it a guarantee you’ll never have to work before 9? Of course not. But it’s a thing you can prioritize and try to make happen, just like OP is doing now for HS.

Ffs.

OP, you are absolutely correct and science backs you up because teen circadian rhythms skew later—unable to fall asleep until 11 pm/midnight is common, even if they try to go to sleep earlier. I wish more HS recognized this. We’re at SSSAS and it starts at 8:20. With our commute, kid can get up around 7:10. Last year or k-8 was a shorter commute so wake-up was 7:30, which was great. I wish a later wake up was possible for us. [/quote]
