One Down

Katie has gotten through her first day of school. We have also arranged a carpool to school that will leave at the much more reasonable hour of 7:35 AM for the 8:00 AM start instead of a 6:53 AM bus. :)

Now if we could just get a lunch menu. The posted menu is still from May.

Ah, well. Growing pains. :)

Starting school that early is not only cruel it's been demonstrated as bad for educational outcomes. Nobody getting up that early is actually going to be getting enough sleep, especially at an age where most people need more than 8 hours. Leads to kids being chronically sleep deprived, leads to them not doing well.

Well, yes, I agree.

On the other hand, staggering the start times for the elementary and middle schools makes it possible to use a smaller number of buses. Like with most things, there are trade offs.
