I don't see why they have to start school classes so early.
I believe 9:00 is a better time......let them stay later in the afternoons.
I always hated early classes when I was in school.

Somebody is using school funds to come up with the stupiest survey I ever hear of!
In case you did not notice- the story never said what time the kids went to bed! I was always moody when I stayed up until 1 am on a school nite to watch tv or listen to a long extra inning SF Giants game- especially if they lost!
The survey says- the kids are running the show! :eek:

Yes, very cruel trick to play on prepubescent students. Expecting them to get enough sleep before school by going to bed earlier. Let's just change all the conventions and rules of society to adjust the the teen agers.

I wonder what the expectations were not even 100 years ago when most people in the U.S. still lived on the farm.
