[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]None of these kids should be starting before 8 a.m. Period.

Most ADULTS at my office don't wander in until between 9 and 10.

you obviously don't work at the pentagon -- I'm guessing you are in law which tends to start late and stay late.  Military folks consider 7:00 a.m. a "late schedule."[/quote]

"Military folks" aren't 12-18 yr. old kids.  Most adults aren't required to leave for their workplace at 6:20 am and [b]adolescents shouldn't be either[/b].[/quote]

I agree with you on the bolded part.  Read carefully.  I never said anything about kids.  I simply responded to your comment about your co-workers not coming in until 9 or 10 a.m.  Nothing in my response related to the value or equity of MS or HS kids taking early buses.

I was the person who made the first post and I'm not entirely sure your point.  Yes, some adults work early.  They choose their career or employer.  Military, you are right, tend to work earlier.  But, I'm civilian (government) and we basically get to set our time to come in (NLT 10:00). Same was true at my prior agency. The vast majority are around 9 a.m. (and some later). The fact that we hold these kids - who need the sleep- to a harsher standard than adults are willing to hold themselves to is insane.[/quote]
