[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We keep our routine year round. Makes it easier. Kid is in MS. Might get harder in HS but she is already starting to understand how important her sleep is so hopefully will be relatively easy. [/quote]

Our MS bus comes at 6:30. You make your kid wake up at 6 AM year round?[/quote]

I would not ever live somewhere like this. You make your kid get up at 6 AM 9 months out of the year?[/quote]

DP. [b]5:30 for us.[/b] I ended up driving DD 4th quarter of last year so she could get a little extra sleep.[/quote] 
That's insane, If our school was like this i would home school or move.[/quote]

It is strange that FCPS has not come around. LCPS where we live has sent ES kids first (then MS, then HS) for 20+ years now. Start times are 7:30/8:30/9:30.[/quote]

My friend with a newly minted kindergartener in LCPS has a 6:15 AM bus! The school is literally 5 minutes away, so they're going to drive her, but I can imagine this not being an option for a lot of people, and then you have to suffer through 7 years of waking little kids up at 5:30 AM to make the bus (my neurologist's nurse has 3 kids, a first grader and two kinders, that have a 6:20 AM bus). From that perspective, I think it make sense that if you're going to torture anyone, it should be older kids that can understand a little better, and for 2 years. [/quote]

It's because a number of school districts are following the advice of the AAP, including our school district. But, a 6:15 bus time is horrendous! That sounds like a bus driver shortage issue. The school must be running double routes.
