Thanks for the parenting advice. My kids get up before the sun thank you very much, but they don't have the same pep as when they wake up when the sun is up. That is a natural body instinct that probably dates back millennia when we didn't have electricity! No different than kids are always sleepy and cuddly when it is raining and dark outside.
Have kids stand on the side of the road in the pitch black seems like a great idea of rural America, I know this probably happens in some places now, but it will happen in a lot more if schools don't move start times. Which I think will happen. Which will then force businesses to open later, which will then just just mean we are back on standard time. So why not just use the already standardized time? Why is that so hard.
Daylight Saving is a made up thing that no longer is needed. Lets do away with it.
I hope ISU sociology department gets the data on how much more or less 8AM classes are attended if this happens. I can't imagine I would be real good at dragging myself to 8AM classes in the pitch black of the morning. But again, I am sure that is bad parenting. Damnit mom and dad.
Agree with some things here.. I think that school times should be and would be moved.
What business would need to be open later if school started 30 minutes to an hour later?
The Bold: This is a self control issue and not parenting. Time to take some personal responsibility.
