And yet, school start times won't change.
- aswanson 7y agoSchool time is optimized for adult conveinience, not child/teen learning.
- roguecoder 7y agoIt's a matter of incomplete metrics. What impact do later school start times have on parents? How about parents' workplaces, especially for shift work? Regulatory capture means convenience for businesses is likely to trump children's health and performance.
- ixwt 7y agoI feel it's also a bit about perspective. Is school for learning, or is it a state sponsored day care with a guise of learning? Especially in the early years.
- germinalphrase 7y agoWe ask schools to be all things for all people, so it is, of course, both and neither.
- James_Henry 7y agoThey have changed already in some districts. If you want them to change, you can help inform the public in your area and work to legislate something healthier for our children.
- jkmcf 7y agoFWIW, my Colorado district's high schools are going to start class around 9 to 9:30-ish next year (proposed, at least) all based around research like this.
