npr.org — District decides to push back start time an hour to fight truancy & increase alertness. Obviously they don't get it, teens will just stay on myspace longer at night and still get to class late the next day because they're teens. Best part? They flipped elementary school start time with the high school start time. Screw the first graders!

Having a child less than a year out of high school? No disrespect with the following.I don't think we should be taking scientific advice from you considering you are younger than me and have children. Sorry buddy. There are smarter people than both you and I that disagree with your view, many different areas in the world, and several different professional studies. Not to mention areas that have implemented later class schedules. There are reasons college courses don't start before 8AM.

It's funny, I made the same exact suggestion on another thread about school starting times.

I goto bed at 1-2am and get up at 8am and then sort of float through my school day, only half alert until after lunch and then for the last 2 periods i'm alert but I can't concentrate because i've become restless. School sucks :P Thank god i'm starting the last year, don't know what I want to do afterwards though....
