I'm from indiana. 7:30 is a common starting time.
I'll add that most parents in the areas I lived didnt take their kids to school. A lot kids take the bus, either from home or from a daycare. Additionally, many schppls offer before and after school care, usually starting at 7 or 7:30 for the parents that will pay for it.
- scentoni 8y agoIndiana has the most complicated time zone history of any state in the US because of a long-running battle between those who want to be on Eastern time for synchronization with the East Coast and those who want to be on Central time because that’s where the state’s longitude puts it.
- Broken_Hippo 8y agoYup. As far as I've witnessed, syncing with either Ohio/Eastern time or Illinois (Central time) is the main bits of the matter. Northwest Indiana is pretty in line with Chicago: Terre Haute (southwest-ish) more on Illinoise. Lafayette (central west/Purdue area) is in between. Central Indiana doesn't matter so much due to Indianapolis. Southeast is more in line with Louisville and the entire eastern edge, once you are outside of the easily Indianapolis area, is more reliant on larger Ohio cities. (Cincinatti, Cleveland, and to a smaller extent, Toledo). Ft Wayne I'm not as sure about, though I think they'd rather stay in line with Ohio's time. I*m not entirely sure why it is a big deal: Either way, it is only an hour at this point. To be fair, it was more difficult before indiana adopted Daylight Savings time.
