My Junior High had double session as they were building a new wing and didn’t have room for everyone at once.
I went 7am to Noon and my sister, a year ahead, went 1 pm to 6pm.
I had to get up at 5:30 to catch a 6 am bus as the busses had to make 2 runs to get all the students by 7. This was 1960-61.
No winey experts around then to worry about the effect on us.
Our schools now have a policy to where every other Thursday is cut short at 1:00 so students can “use this time for appointments”. Now, the Dr’s offices and orthos are packed during these times.
Rode the “activities bus” for years that got me home in time for dinner.
I’m amazed that FReepers don’t realize that the human sleep/wake cycle operates differently at different stages of life.
go to bed earlier is a good answer though
“I got an earache, man.”
My eye!
Noon is too early for some undisciplined punks.
Just keep catering to them and they’ll grow up just fine.....

Your comment suggests that school is a good thing!
I am in favor of anything that gets kids to school later, or out of it earlier. Ideally, time in school can be reduced to zero. School is among the longest-running, most successful hoaxes in human history. It ranks up there with Islam, Social Security, and Communism.
That is odd; I’m sure they’re all counted as full days. Here in NJ kids have 180 days of school per year, but they have plenty of short days (for example, the first and last weeks are often half days, as well as many others sprinkled throughout the year with vague explanations).
Exactly the view of the Socialists who foisted government schools on the U.S.--sometimes at the end of a bayonet. Schools have been DESIGNED to train children to struggle with reading, to be pathologically dependent on peer-approval, and to spend their lives in soul-destroying, regimented factories and offices.
My sister use to regularly sleep 10-12 hours.
That’s more than enough.
I only sleep 6 hours or skip sleep.
There is never a shortage of people who will attack any idea, no matter how reasonable or scientifically sound, if it SOUNDS “liberal.” I am sure FR harbors a huge contingent who think the answer to depression or PTSD is “grow up,” or “get over it.”
8:30 is “later?”
This ping list is for the “other” articles of interest to homeschoolers about education and public school. This can occasionally be a fairly high volume list. Articles pinged to the Another Reason to Homeschool List will be given the keyword of ARTH. (If I remember. If I forget, please feel free to add it yourself)
The main Homeschool Ping List handles the homeschool-specific articles. I hold both the Homeschool Ping List and the Another Reason to Homeschool Ping list. Please freepmail me to let me know if you would like to be added to or removed from either list, or both.
Well, between 7 and 7:30 according to the article is waaayy too early.
We always started a little after 8:00 in the morning.
True but one can make generalities among different age groups.
