Well yeah but when you choose a school, you choose it based on those criterias. They cannot just change the schedule like this

  It sounded like the hours were relatively consistent over the whole system. It wouldn't really affect school choice. But fine, if this change is somehow egregious compared to other ones, give a 5 year warning. The schedule benefits their kids, with a net zero change in the convenience of starting hours. What a shortsighted way to complain.

    > What a shortsighted way to complain. This is not how to build concensus for your argument. I recently moved due to concerns outside my control, and the school time changed from 8:30am to 7:15am for my 6-year-old. This is manageable, but not a minor change at all. These types of changes are very significant for everyone in the region.

      > This is not how to build concensus for your argument. Sure, I'm not trying to convince the population being affected with that. Here's how I would say it: "Your kids are going through 12 years of education. This change to the entire system will make it easier for them to learn, and to be smarter adults with better focusing habits. For some people the hours are tougher right now, I'm sorry, but it's not like those hours came out of nowhere. Your students were going to have school at those hours eventually. We've only changed which years." It's not about how hard the change is. It's that a few years of early school starts are inevitable, so it's a fair trade.
