One of my pet issues is demanding that schools open later. I see no reason why school can't begin at 10 or 11am and end at 4 or 5pm. I know I was inhibited from learning adequately due to being exhausted by getting to school at 7:15. Many others had the same experience

Kids are resistant to going to bed early, and resistant to waking up early. So why not accomodate their natural sleep tendencies to some marginally greater extent. You will probably see an improvement in behavioral outcomes

I guess this would apply more to high school, where kids can secure their own transportation more easily, than earlier grades. I understand the practical considerations with parents having to get to work. But in theory I think this would be a much better arrangement

There's this weird cultural sense that waking up extremely early is somehow virtuous. I wake up early now, but for practical reasons, not reasons of virtue. Almost everyone I knew as a teenager (with some oddball exceptions) would naturally wake up at around 10-11am if they could

The idea that kids need to be on some kind of Wall Street work schedule in order to prepare them for the "real world" is so stupid. The priority for school should be to create the conditions where they can learn optimally. It's not "coddling" to make adjustments to enable that

I’m not able to do the search right now, but I believe there’s a reasonable evidence base suggesting kids, especially teenagers, benefit greatly (including better grades) from later school/college start time.

Well one problem with that is tthat one usually have to sleep early on the weekday and be up late ln the weekend. But you can still get the same amount.

Absolutely. Functioning on low/irregular sleep can never be trained. You'll just get used to functioning suboptimally
