Doesn't help you, but I sure wish that high schools started later in the
day. It's almost a reason to go to a private school, where they begin at a
more reasonable 9:00.

Why is it that the elementary schools begin the latest? The younger kids
wake up the earliest. And they are the ones who need supervision no matter
what, so parents employed out of the home have to get before-school care.

Meanwhile, the kids who want to sleep in, where there's studies that prove
that they biologically are inclined to sleep later, have to get to school
the earliest. It doesn't make sense! I read somewhere that you can raise
test scores by some significant amount (I don't have the citation), if you
let high schoolers start school two hours later.

Some people will say it's athletics. OK, so if you want to do something that
requires you to be at school longer, have those few people do their
atheletic thing at 7:00. Then it's their choice, rather than penalizing
everyone else.
