[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kid's elementary [b]school starts at 7:30[/b]. Very very few my kid's classmates participate in weekday sports or weekday activities outside of low-intensity stuff like art, music, and Kumon-type tutoring.

In contrast, my brother's kids go to an elementary school in the same area that starts at 9:00 and according to his observation, half or more kids are in weekday sports, including his. So I'm guessing it all depends very much on school start times.

I used to be envious that his kids' school starts later, but it also dismisses later, which pushes everything else much later. Pick your poison?[/quote]
This is where alot of the problem is, Schools should not be in session before 8:30am or after 3:00pm, 7:30 is just too early. [/quote]

K-2 my son attended a school that started at 745 and it was great. Wake up, out the door, parents go to work. We moved to fairfax county and the 920 start is so late, i hate it. It really messes with working parents, and most kids wake up early. He is awake at 7, and could spend his morning learning instead of dragging through the afternoon hours like he does now.

Just commenting that not everyone agrees that later start times are a good thing.[/quote]
