[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm kind of shocked. This is an excellent, free school system. It is not their job to worry about your commute. Their sole focus needs to be the good of the kids. Your child care arrangements are your own problem.[/quote]

Actually that's not entirely true. You would expect most normal schools to start around 8 or 8.30 in order for parents to get to work after.[b] That's what happens all around the rest of the USA.[/b] Its only happening somewhere like MoCo where they know there are enough parents with money to buy in extra care.[/quote]

Except, of course, for where it doesn't.

[i]Fewer than 1 in 5 middle and high schools in the U.S. began the school day at the recommended 8:30 AM start time or later during the 2011-2012 school year, according to data published today in the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report. Too-early start times can keep students from getting the sleep they need for health, safety, and academic success, according to the American Academy of Pediatrics.

CDC and U.S. Department of Education researchers reviewed data from the 2011-2012 Schools and Staffing Survey of nearly 40,000 public middle, high, and combined schools to determine school start times.[/i]
