The article was making it sound like later is better. Maybe because that way you can drop the kids off on the way to work and then have more work time in the afternoon while they're still in school? But I suspect it's more likely that whatever time it is works because you set up your work shift schedule around it or whatnot, but you don't have control over _changing_ that work shift schedule, so changing the school start times becomes a problem. This is obviously not an issue for people with flexible enough working hours.
