We legislate safe (or unsafe) work hours for kids but feel we can't do the same for school hours. Sad.

A simple walk around the block turned into tragedy when a teen driver fell asleep at the wheel, swerved onto the sidewalk & struck 17-year-old Kyle, killing him instantly

There is no doubt starting school later would significantly benefit health & wellbeing of NJ students, especially middle and high schoolers.
Still, whenever a later start time is proposed there is significant pushback from parents

Counting the precise number of schools that have “made the change” continues to be a challenge, but policies to ensure later school start times have unquestionably vastly improved the lives of millions of children across the nation

Sleeping in sweet spot?

Sleep specialist and clinical hypnotist Jeffrey Rose says the nationwide push to start high schools later would boost students’ medical and behavioral benefits, and may be the “greatest reform you can make for high school education” #startschoollater ntd.com/sleep-specialist-ben…

“All of the research from around the world tells us that students in middle & high school shouldn’t start school early & for the life of me, in Baton Rouge, we have students on the corner at 5:30 in the morning waiting on a bus" #startschoollater unfilteredwithkiran.com/ebr-…

The alarms on A’Nya Lucas’ phone go off at 5, 5:15, 5:20 and 5:30am so she can get out the door by 6:08. The time between her first alarm and her first period class (7:45am) is nearly 3 hours. She won’t get back home until 6 or 7pm. #startschoollater thebaltimorebanner.com/educa…

This is low-hanging fruit for anyone who cares about teen mental health, safety & well-being. Schools used to start at sane, humane hours that gave students a chance for healthy sleep. Let's make it happen again! #startschoollater #sleepmatters

Yesterday I learned of a school district that starts its bus runs at 4:52 am!
It doesn't matter how early a teen "goes to bed" with hours like that.
But many families are required by law to deprive their children of sleep to send them to school. #startschoollater

Hundreds of districts have found feasible, affordable ways to start school at healthy hours by questioning assumptions & working collaboratively. Florida's can too! #startschoollater @jenn_bradley @anne_gerwig @ArielSchillerTV @ZachWilcoxTV @daveelias @smtravis @JeffSolochek
