[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]By October 30, sunrise will be at 7:33 AM. My kid has to leave for the bus stop at 6:45 to be there by 6:55. So these 12 year olds are going to be walking and waiting in the dark? Does this seem like a bad idea to anyone else? Then we get daylight savings time but that will only help for about 60 days.... Then we'll be back to the same thing. [/quote] The middle school kids at secondary schools plus the Frost kids have been doing this for years. All my kids took a bus that arrived at the stop at 6:35 or 6:40, depending on the year. This was for seventh through twelfth graders. I totally get watching the kids head out in the complete dark for a number of weeks each year. I had the sunrise times memorized for those weeks. It has shifted to a different set if middle schoolers now, but fewer kids overall are dealing with this schedule than before, so that is progress. [/quote]
