8:30 is when schools ought to be starting, which will be after sunrise for every state in the union, except Alaska, even on the darkest day.
Most schools in America currently start at 7:30, which is way too early.
- lolinder 5y agoAgreed, but my point is that under this new law, schools will be effectively starting at 6:30 (as we've been measuring time in the winter). This means we're bringing school start times in the wrong direction and will have to move them forward by 2 hours rather than 1 to get to a reasonable start time.

- seanmcdirmid 5y agoThis is mostly high schools. School buses take two or three rounds in delivering kids to school, starting with high schoolers, then middle schoolers, then elementary schoolers. There is all sorts of variation to be had. Middle schoolers in my neighborhood seem to start school at 9AM or at least after 8:30.
