Elementary school kids have an easier schedule and tend to go to bed early. Teens in high school tend have a more intense schedule ( academics, sports, other activities). The teen body is growing more quickly and they need about 8 to 10 hrs of sleep. I know high schools that start at 7:50 am, that is criminal. Let the teens sleep in..

Used to be bedtime for even high schoolers would be 10 PM or earlier. No computers, one TV for the whole house. So getting up at 7 to make an 8:30 start wasn't so bad. My high school was a fifteen minute walk, or a similar bus ride in the winter. So it wasn't so bad.

  Were you a 90s kid? I remember going to bed between 9 and 9:30 PM in high school, and being up at 6 am - since I went for a morning run, school did not start till 8:30 am..

    Even earlier. Still living the old ways like you see in old TV shows.

This argument makes no sense to me. How is it criminal to start at 7:50am? Kids can sleep early and get their 8-10 hours of sleep just the same.

  But they don't - screens being a major culprit.

    That's their own and their parents fault though.
