On the subject of biology, I read somewhere that teens are chronically sleep deprived because their biological clocks are skewed to late-night activities, so starting high school at 8 (or earlier!) really messes w/them.
This is very well-defended in the literature now, and as far as we can tell it doesn't seem to be something most teens can adjust. We're also very early in the game when it comes to understanding the consequences of chronic sleep deprivation on developing brains
