Regularizing my sleep habits has made all the difference in the world for me. When my sleep habits become irregular, it's terrible. No surprise that disrupted or inconsistent sleep patterns highly correlate with many psychological and cognitive problemshttps://twitter.com/nxthompson/status/1129499584760307712 …

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

The problem with having schools open at 10am is that parents have to go to work before that.

It would make more sense from a sleep perspective, but not from a daycare-for-working-parents perspective.

Sleep habits learned while young become lifelong habits. If school children get to go to school as late as you suggest, they will never adjust to the demands of work life. Changing the hours are just another way of lowering expectations placed on students.

Impossible when both parents are working?

Clarification: I agree with the premise but on a large-scale this seems very difficult to implement given that situation.

7.15? WTF? Where do schools start at 7.15?
-
Not exactly the same, but my son’s high school starts at 7:26. Worse - the high school I went to as a teen, at some point after I graduated, changed to split shifts, due to budget/space issues, and the juniors and seniors started at 5:30.

I'm always shocked how early school starts. Little kids having to leave the house at 6 or 6:30! Nuts.
-
That’s nuts. Our kids start at 8:00. As a former teacher, I’d get there between 7:30-7:50

Most people with actual jobs are off to work by 8 or 9.

What about extra circular activities. Practices would end at like 7 or later.
