What blew my mind was how parents of elementary school students somehow needed the late start time to make their work possible and parents of high school students needed the late start time... to make their work possible.
I tried explaining that parents of high school students almost certainly were once parents of elementary school children, and those elementary school parents will almost certainly one day have kids in high school, but gave up.
The best part was the parents who had kids in both schools who would still argue against the change :-)
- jknoepfler 9y agoIt is generally understood that students ages 14-18 are substantially more self-sufficient than students ages 6-11. Speaking for myself, I was largely self-sufficient in terms of managing my day at 14. My peers were as well. The major inconvenience of the early hours was being unable to chaperone a younger sibling.
