[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Teens need more sleep and a later start time would help with that, but it would also disrupt the scheduling of other things, impact family life, and cost the school district money, so it’s not changing any time soon. The kids just have to get through it, the way generations before them did.[/quote]

No, because [b]kids would get home later and go to bed even later so it will not help at all.[/b]  [/quote]

My kid's private HS starts at 8:45 and [b]this is not true in our home. [/b]

Sports at the school start at 3:30, my child does a club sport and has time to come home, get ready and drive to the location before 4. Dinner at a normal time (6:30ish), homework until 9ish depending on load. Generally asleep before 10, a "late" night is 10:30.

One experience, but it can work. Again, private school, not MCPS transportation issues. [/quote]

You’re in the public school forum. Private school parents, on average, are more involved parents & are going to have things like strict bedtimes, lights out and screen time limits. The average kid in MCPS has parents who DGAF about any of that, and that kid will just end up going to bed later with later start times. [/quote]

I find private school parents far more hands off and rely on the schools for big things.  Many of us public school parents are very involved, have strict bedtimes and enforce rules.  Your post makes no sense.  [/quote]
