Sleep deprivation in adolescents is linked to mental health struggles, worse grades, traffic accidents, and more. That’s why states such as California and Florida have mandated later high school start times. But opposition to later times is less about the science than it is about logistics and costs.
Cause the parents need to make the kids ready for school before they themselves drive to work.
If school started later, all jobs would have to start later, too.
I see no problem with this.
Not teens though? They can get ready themselves
Depends on the teen, but there’s plenty that get ready like old people fuck
Would be nicer if school didn’t suck ass.
Ikr?
Like, my kid’s school is pretty damn good. waaaaay better than it was when I went there. But it still sucks in a real sense because it’s school. You sacrifice a hell of a lot of flexibility and freedom because of the necessity of teaching as many kids as possible in an affordable way. No way to get rid of all the suck, no matter what compromises you pick to get it done.
I’m skeptical about there being literally no way to fix it. We invented the damn thing.
