As far as adults leaving early for work, do you really think leaving by 6:45 is early? HAHA! I spent many years driving from MD to VA, where I had to be at my desk by 7:30. My DH leaves at 6:15 and some of my neighbors leave at 5:30, to fight the traffic going south to DC or VA. I appreciate the fact that you're an educator, but you aren't going to get much sympathy here for the time you have to go to work.

I was not including people who CHOOSE to live an hour or longer commute away from their work.  If you wored in VA, maybe you should have LIVED in VA!  Don't complain about your commute when you chose to live far from your job!

I'm not looking for sympathy at all.  I CHOSE to be a HS teacher, and with that comes and early work day (we report at 7:00 BTW).  Not a problem for me, the adult, but a big problem for my students, the "customers" who had no choice in the matter.

I'd bet the house that the majority of adults don't have to arrive at work until 8:00 or later, so I still contend that your argument holds no water.

PP here. No complaints about the time we leave for work, just stating the facts. And FYI, many of us are contractors and certainly don't move from MD to VA or vice-versa each time we are assigned a new contract. We live where we want and deal with the drive.

I hope  you are nicer to the parents of your students than you are on here.
