[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I just think it's funny how so many people are worried about their up-coming ms students having to go to school at 7:30, when thousands of ms students in FCPS have been doing this for the last 40 years! Like you never noticed that other kids (at the secondary schools) had a raw deal? And suddenly now that it's your kid, it's unacceptable? Suck it up. It's your kids' turn to catch the 6:40 a.m. bus. [/quote] That's the point....too early start times have been a problem for too long, and this doesn't fix that. Yet people are acting like "mission accomplished!". I grew up in FCPS, went to a secondary school for MS and then TJ (which thankfully had a reasonable start time). When people have been talking about sleep and later start times for the past 2.5 years+, I did not expect it to move MS 20 minutes earlier. So yeah, I'm going to complain about that. My kids will survive, but I think we can all agree that this is not ideal.[/quote]
