    It’s been known for decades at this point that kids would be better off if school started later. This better happen

      The early schedule is to benefit parents so that they can get to work on time after their kid gets to school or leaves for school. It doesn’t do the kids any favors.

          I don’t disagree. I’m just saying that a lot of parents would be very against the change because they and their employers are not prepared to deal with it.
