For many students, this is a necessity, as they work after school.
What would be cruel would be depriving these students of work opportunities because some students don't need the income and can afford to sleep in.
- marvy 10y agoI have a possibly dumb question. Wouldn't those students also be better off? They work the same number of hours, but later in the day. Unless it's the kind of thing that can't be one hour later?
- laurenbee 10y agoThe kinds of jobs available to typical high school students such as food service work and babysitting tend to start earlier in the day (in my experience). Food service jobs often start around 4:00 to beat the evening rush, and babysitting can start whenever the kids get out of school.
- marvy 10y agoWell, then in the babysitting case, the solution is clearly to have school ALSO start later. Might be a bit impractical to coordinate that.
- huac 10y agoEarly start times are because of after-school sports (and other extracurriculars).
- TazeTSchnitzel 10y agoSo… schoolkids in America are expected to need to work to have sufficient income? That's terrible.
