Schools in our area started at 7am for k and first grade. Some required taking a bus around 530-6. So my kids would be getting up at 4 something.
Screw that. I went to the school, picked a teacher I liked, hired her as a governess. Setup a room attached to the house as a classroom. Now school starts at 9am and it's much healthier. They sleep as much as they want, basically. (9-10 hours). Been doing it for a couple years now. Other parents have begged us to take their kids on.
