[blindkid] FW: FW: Peditricians Recommend Later Start Times for Middle and High-School Students

Tue Aug 26 15:02:48 UTC 2014

  When I was in school, Elementary started at around 8, Middle School 
(or I think now it's called Junior high) at 8:30, and High School at 7 
something. I guess it depends on the school district then?

> Yes, our county has staggered starts and stops too. Elementary first, Middle Schools second, and High school third. This lets them use far fewer busses, as the busses mostly run a route for one of each level of schools both morning and afternoon. I assume this gives drivers a fairly full day of work as well.

A common start time for all schools mostly helps parents who put all kids on the bus from home at the same time and they all get home at similar times.

A light box has been a huge help for that, until she hit puberty, now there seem to be hormones in play or something and the light box is no longer enough.
