<p>My kids’ high school goes from 7:35 to 2:15. Sports practices start at 3:00 and run until 4:30 or 4:45.</p>
<p>When our district built a new middle school and had to rearrange bus schedules, anyway, a lot of parents requested that the younger kids start first, followed by the high school. We pointed out research indicating that made sense, but we were ignored.</p>
<p>Their lunch period is VERY short. D just found out that the school she will be studying at in Spain next semester has an hour and a half for lunch! She was excited to hear that.</p>
