Wouldn’t this be pretty inconvenient for parents who drop their kids off to school then go on to work?

You don't think those costs have increased? What planet do you live on?

Of course they have increased, much more than the rate of inflation, according to the graph. Thats the problem.

Mass. lawmakers are considering mandating later start times for schools in the Bay State. Sleep experts in increasing numbers are advocating later start times so adolescents can get more Zzzzs. It is believed this would make kids healthier and better prepared to learn. Of course, there are arguments to the contrary as well. We'll see.

Kids usually have to get up when their parents get up.

Kids will still be on their phones until the wee hours. I remember when tv went off the air at midnight or sooner. We need to return to that. Most of America is sleep deprived. Drowsy driving kills more people than drunks do.

Yours apparently was. That is not the fault of the schools, now is it?

Not really--It is the Fault of Teachers Unions and WOKE Teachings

What have the teachers' unions done in your school system to impact learning. Be specific!

Many school systems have never had woke teachings, so how can you say that?

If they have the book "my two dads", that is woke teaching.

Most do not. Thank you for your concern.

Pride flags?

Pride flags?

Never saw one. Your mileage may vary.

You only hear about the extremes, usually in deep blue cities or states.

The best teacher I ever knew was a flaming homosexual. Everybody knew it, accepted it and didn't really care!

You could be right. I have no idea how widespread it is.

You need to put away your broad brush that is wielded by anyone unfamiliar with education in red states without blue cities. Most of them are doing just fine, but the vast number of blue cities and states draws the average down quickly. Remember if you average a 100 with a 0 you get 50 which is failing. The 100 didn't fail, but the 0 did, making our system fail.

Really? Seems most Kids nowadays can barely read or do simple Math-- 'Splain that , Swabbie

Another declaration you really know nothing about.

Are the statistics real?

 

[The Duke]

so much for the early to bed early to rise belief ..

That's a British paper. Worse than "The Enquirer", too.

“Seems” is not a scientific term.

Another declaration you really know nothing about.

Kids have fallen behind in English and Math because of Covid, and they are slow to catch up as well.
