Why not just send the teachers to their homes and let the kids stay in bed all day. These so called “pediatricians” have been spewing this garbage for years. Morons.
I guess the teachers’ unions want even shorter workdays...
My generation got to school at 8:30 and began classes at 9am. We were hardly morons who stayed in bed all day. I think I got up around 6:30 to begin getting ready for school. It’s peculiar to me that some kids begin classes at 7:30am. They’ve barely had time to digest their breakfast - if their parents are even home to make it.
When I was a teen, school started at 8:30 and went on until 3:30. This meant I had to be on the bus at 8:10 and we didn’t wake up until 7 to get showered, have a hot leisurely breakfast, do hair and makeup, and have a few minutes at the bus stop to compare homework and boys.
When my kids were in high school a couple of years ago, they had to be at the bus stop at 6:20. This meant getting up no later than 5:30. Which means the whole family had to go to bed early, since the noise of one or two people getting up, showering, and preparing breakfast in the darkness would wake everybody up. So we all had to be in bed by ten if we were going to get seven hours of sleep. That almost never happened—there is simply too much to do after work in the evening. We were ALL sleep-deprived and cranky during the school year. I hated it.
