[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here...the issue is not the darkness, but rather the faulty logic of the SLEEP study. I am positive the later start time is good for the high school kids...but it was at the expense of the middle school kids, who need the sleep as much if not more. My DD is often unable to get to sleep before 11:00.[/quote] I sympathize because I've been watching my high schoolers go to school in the dark for years and then try to stay awake for class when they truly could not go to sleep before 11 the night before. With rare exceptions these same kids were in bed by 9:30 or 10 when they were in middle school. It would have been ideal if both MS and HS could have gone to or kept later start times, but given that FCPS had to choose at least this year, I think they made the right decision. Everything matters more in high school.[/quote]
