I don't understand this kind of reflexive response whenever someone proposes a change to make things better. There's always someone blaming the person who could benefit from things being better.

I'm not sure it's been working for decades. We have decades of research that shows kids don't learn so well that early in the morning. Can we drag our asses through this and survive? Sure. Can we set the school day back an hour and do much better without dragging our asses through and barely surviving? NO! That's for bad parents, lazy spoiled children, hippies, minorities, and woke people!

With that attitude we would still be pushing carts around with square "wheels". What's been working for decades doesn't mean it has been working well. If there's a better way to make learning better for students, why resist the change?

this isn’t necessarily accurate though. My two kids are opposites. One is just like me, ready for bed by 9pm, the other has always been a night owl and consistently struggles to fall asleep bythe time wifey and I set (9:30). Both have to be outta the house by 7am

edit: I should add, moving the school start time forward wouldn't change our 9:30 bedtime rule, it would just give him a little bit more time in the morning.

I agree, we can get our grandaughters to sleep 730-8pm but it is a PITA to get the out of bed at 6am.

On the flip side, we can also let them stay up on the weekends until 10 or 11pm, I have actually tried letting them stay up as late as they could, they will still come out of their bedroom between 7-8am, everyday.

I am off on Sunday and Monday, so during school time Monday would be a break sort of. On Sundays, I get to get up at 7-8am every Sunday, because the grandaughters do not get the concept of sleeping in. This is K and PS ages.

To some people I suppose it doesn't.

I personally have no children that aren't grown. It doesn't effect me at all. I was only presenting a solution that we used back when I was in school. First period started at 07:30 AM and we were out of school at 03:15 PM.
Of course back then we didn't bus kids all over hell and back to go to school. I usually walked to school about 1.5 to 2 miles away.

I used to take my son to school when I got off work at 06:30 AM so he arrived by 07:00 AM. He never had an issue with it. Honor rolls and full ride Scholarship to the College of Charleston.

I guess from what I see in the news and in person children are much more fragile these days.

Back when you were a kid, black people probably didn't have civil rights. Maybe they were just fragile just then.

Suck a dumb argument. Old men saying just cause some people functioned fine in the old days, everybody is weak now.

You know, fucking back in the day there was no minimum wage, no worries safety laws, no overtime, and people survived, today's workers are fragile!

Such weak minds

Honest question.

Honesty, from geek lol

If they don’t, it's because you lack the moral fiber and self reflection it takes to bother you. That’s the entire point, duh.

and what you call “childish” is straight up mocking for shit you’ve done here, lol.

This isn't a conversation about race or civil rights, minimum wage, safety laws, or overtime. It is about getting up on time to go to school.

It also prepared them to get up to go to work and being on time and flexible.

Everybody functioned fine in the old days, but you are entitled to your opinion(s).

Riiiight. Your insults don't bother me because I lack moral fiber and self reflection. LOL that is the funny. Keep on.

Mocking someone is still childish regardless of your perceived reason.

Where did Fox News enter the picture?
Just because I said news doesn't mean Fox news. I read the paper and online news sources too.

glad you agree, since you’ve shown it to be true. That means you’re ok with it.

I’ll keep your deep concern in mind when mocking you for voting for Trump twice. Lol, what a clown
