[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]FCPS is weird. ES should go first, then MS, then HS. I mean my ES kid is up at the crack of dawn and we need to wait three hours until school starts. [/quote] It’s not about your wealthy, privileged kids. It’s about the families who need their high schoolers home early to work more hours at a job to help their families and/or to provide childcare for younger siblings. And no, they aren’t going to move the times just for your rich school(s).[/quote] Actually, when FCPS was looking at adjusting high school start times, it was the wealthy families who cried loudest because they didn’t want a later start/dismissal to impact their precious sports practices. High school start could be even later if it weren’t for the sports fanatics. That’s who this schedule is catering to. If high school started later, so could middle school. [/quote]
