Can we just get year-round schooling in place.

The 'survey' was the very poorly written. Some questions were actually two questions with only one answer.

Why is it that there are plenty of mid schoolers & high schoolers who can get enough sleep because they know the importance of having to get up in the morning? If there’s too much homework, why isn’t more teaching going on in class?

As a retired educator, I first heard of this in the 1970s and then every decade thereafter. Over and over studies have shown that teens need more sleep. It is the younger children that tend to wake up earlier.

AnchorageAction Great news!

This is long overdue, children’s health matters.

Are they going to double the bus loads and have extra busses to pick up cause you can't have k-5 with highschoolers. The kids will be late for drop off. Not to mention the older kids usually being the babysitter after school. Kids of all ages being dropped off will be a nightmare

And the families who have older kids that babysit the little ones when they get home from school. Or the older kids that just skip school because their parents are already at work and not at home to get them out the door? What’s going to happen with all of them?

What about families who have kids in multiple schools? What are working parents of middle schoolers supposed to do with a 930 start time?

I hate this

Ohio school district allows staff to be armed: 'Our schools will no longer be soft targets'The River Valley Local School District in Marion County, Ohio, implemented a policy that allows teachers and school staff to be armed amid concerns over emergency response time. Or just restrict firearms sales to a certain kind of person. So you are arming the same teachers you think are woke commies trying to turn your kids gay? Make up your minds.
