The sleeping in thread really has me back to being really bothered about our middle school start time. DD would get on the bus at 8:20 for Elementary. They use the same 4 buses for all the schools in our town (yep, it's that small). For HS and MS they get on the bus at 7:00 for a 7:15 start time for middle school. Thank goodness we're one of the last stops at least, but I feel for those families that aren't. A significant number of the clubs meet BEFORE school starts. No bus for my kiddo on those days.

DD does swim team in the summer. She has to be at the pool by 7 AM, so that helps keep her on schedule and she's an early riser anyway... for now. With all the research that supports tweens and teens needing to sleep later in the day and more sleep needed overall in addition to doing activities and homework later at night it really chaps my a$$.

I really just needed to vent, not sure what I"m looking for here.

For those of you that got school schedules changed, how did your district do it?
