AFAIK the early hours classes are meant to build discipline, not to optimise for learning. A lot of school rituals seem to be built with the goal of making you used to a disciplined punctual life, rather than actually teaching you any knowledge.
- alttag 10y agoMy experience (as someone who was elected to public education administration) suggests it's often more about logistics. For example, adjusting how many bus drivers (and busses) are needed in a district to serve elementary, middle and high schools. Staggering start times reduces the need, but drives one of these options to be earlier than the others. High school sports complicates logistics later in the day. It's not just a question of learning; it's also a question of cost and resources.
