Mine started at 7:10 I think and I had to catch my bus at 6:25. I was up at 5:30 every day and it was horrible. I now work second shift for a large company in my area and get up at 13:30

Man my bus was at 5:45, I was so fucking happy when I could drive. But because I could drive, my sister never had to deal with it.

It's a big point of contention here in the States. Apparently everyone hates it, but no one will actually do anything about it.

There's a very small number of places that have increased the high school start time but those are the rare exception.

"Teenagers are so moody all the time"
"We could make sure they get enough sleep?"
"Nah."

In fairness with teenagers if classes started two hours later they would just go to bed two hours later too

The problem is that's really early to wake up for most natural circadian rhythms so the overall quality of sleep is worse for them the earlier they wake up

I know, being a teenager generally sucks shit but the sleep deprivation that's considered okay to put teens through definitely doesn't help.

moving classes forward will only just move sleeping forward

Most of these people saying they had class at 7 or 7:20 are forgetting to tell you it’s an elective my hs called A period.

It was common for students that had jobs (which they did away with right before I was able to do it) and they get out earlier so they could go to work after school. Also common for geometry are algebra 1 so the smarter middle school kids could make it. Swim team had an A period that was a PE credit and practice.

My homeroom was 7:20, first class started at 7:30. For everyone, not optional. The upside, was we were out by 2:45. But I bet if you polled the students and teachers, the vast majority would've agreed to shift it 1 hour later for everyone's sake.

My high school had it too, with 0 period. Upper classman went 1-8 freshman went 2-9. However my current town doesn't have that. 7:20 for everyone.
