i'm not sure. it makes no sense how they set it up. younger kids, who go to bed earlier and need less sleep than high schoolers, still start school later (at least in my school disctrict back home), allowing them to get a good 10-11 hours of sleep if their parents make 'em go to bed at the proper time... then you've got high schoolers who go to bed later at night, but have to get up so much earlier. it makes no sense at all. that's what i love about college: next semester my earliest class starts at 9 am, and that meets once a week and it's a PE lecture, so i won't even have to go. rest of the week, it's 10:00!

The high school kids in my neighborhood get on the bus at 6:50 every morning. I think that is extremely early - but they are home by 2:00. The smaller kids get on the bus at 8:40 and don't get home until 3:45.
