[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I took the staff survey this morning, but I don’t remember a comment section: [/quote]

I also took the staff survey, and there was no comment section.

There was an email address to which to send further comment. The address doesn't work, though, and the messages bounced back.[/quote]

Sorry. I took 3 school surveys yesterday so it was probably the other school survey I took.

As for people’s opinions- everyone in FFX thinks their opinion is extremely important and everyone should listen to them. That’s our area. They just want facts. How much sleep to you get? How much sleep does your child actually get?  Not what you think will happen for your fifth grader in a year or two, but an actual present day experience. And then how it affects childcare or after school responsibilities. They have chosen their fact based (when possible) priorities. They can’t listen to the opinions of everyone because they are all different- as noted by some people who love early mornings and some people who love sleeping in. [/quote]

With every post you demonstrate your lack of understanding of research. Not all survey questions are designed to assess people‘s opinions. This survey did not even bother to try to collect relevant facts, such as the implications of adjusting middle school start times on childcare and other factors that will inevitably be affected when all school start times change. Middle school start times aren’t changing in a vacuum. They obviously do not want to understand all of the implications of this decision, because then it would lead them to the conclusion that they are creating more problems than they’re solving.

Maybe stay in your lane of working with kids, you don’t sound like you know too much else.[/quote]

So I looked back and they asked high schoolers if it would affect them caring for a sibling or affect a job and they asked staff if it would affect their childcare needs. I don’t have an elementary school kid so I did not see that they didn’t ask the same about childcare for elementary school kids. Definitely an oversight on their part. [/quote]
