However, in addition to requiring more sleep than do 9 and 10 year
old children, or adults, teenagers typically have altered biologic
rhythms which vary the time of night teenagers sleep best and the
times of day teenagers are most alert. The timing of sleep and wake
is very dependent on the sun. "

Yet another reason to run not walk away from public schools. This
is reasonably well accepted information.
So given that . . .
. . . Why do the majority of school systems start the high schools
EARLIER than the elementary schools??? Most of them claim it is
because the same buses are used for both so they have to stagger the
hours. Of course, they could stagger them the other way round but
don't.
