From looking at the chart referenced in your link, it would seem to me that our youngest school age kids should get into school the latest, and teenagers the earliest. If we extend this logic, college age kids should be having classes even earlier (try to read that without chuckling).
Yet most of the news/research I read is about appeasing groggy teenagers. Why aren't we focusing on elementary and middle schoolers? One of my other replies in this thread was about how locally they've shifted high schoolers to a later start time and as a result the younger kids are forced into an earlier time schedule. Makes no sense if we're using the data referenced.
