I agree that school starts excessively early. I have to wake up by 7am to get to school by 8:15am. School started this week, so I'm in a good position to observe this - during the summer I stayed alert until at least 2-3am. I woke up around 10am. Now that I'm getting up earlier, I feel tired around 9:30-10:00pm and have trouble staying awake. That's a loss of several hours for me. Although I can wake up in the morning fully rested, I'm not alert or focused until closer to lunch time, and definitely not until 9.
