Completely agree with this. I spent most of my youth in an extremely tired state. Up at 7 to be in school for 9. I doubt I ever really learned anything useful until after 11am. By 4pm I was shattered, then had to go home and do sports / homework until 8-9pm. At the weekend atleast at one of the days was spent sleeping in, purely because I was so unnecessarily wrecked by the stupid school hours.
Fast forward and these days, since setting up my own company, I rarely start properly working until 11am. By that time I'm not exhausted getting up and am ready to be immediately productive.
So what about adjusting to societies (stupid) rules at such an early age - most people are not morning people anyway. School is supposed to be about learning and productivity, so why are we making it part of the "hours just for the sake of it / that's how it's always been done" problem?
School hours are basically currently set as it's a form of childcare but parents are working all kinds of hours these days - why should schools be different?
