Resilient yes, but you'll be harming them for life making them get up so early. Their brains just don't work like that and it's inhumane to force somebody into the school system so early. No wonder people hate it.
- scottLobster 7y agoI sincerely doubt that the buses in question are filled with kids that early. Most likely they're just starting their routes to pick up some high school kids around 6:30. Still way too early IMO, but not quite what you describe.
- cameronbrown 7y agoI felt terrible even getting up at 8:30 for years upon years as a kid/teen. I was unable to sleep early for years so I ended up sleep deprived for the better part of childhood, and on top of that get punished if I turned up late.
- gumby 7y agoIt's the high school kids who need to sleep in. The school schedule is determined by late 19th century factory shifts and has nothing to do with the welfare of children.
