I’ve never understood this argument to start school later. Shouldn’t the kids just go to bed earlier? If school starts later aren’t they just going to stay up later? The amount I sleep is usually a choice on at least one side of the equation.

Edit- Actually read the article, apparently there’s a actually some science to it, interesting

Wow, I admit that I was wrong and I learned something and that’s the response I get, pretty awesome community. I’ve heard this arguments for years, but never science to it. I’m open minded enough to take new information and science into account and adjust my opinion on things, which you know in today’s world is not that common. But sure I’m the jackass. Thanks
