Am I the only one here who goes to school at 8 and gets out at 445..? Needless to say, I am ALWAYS tired

My days usually start at 8:15 and end at 4:30, and that's an improvement over last year, so I'm quite happy with my current schedule.

If school starts later, kids will just go to bed later. Nothing will change, kids need to learn to go to bed on time. I'm never tired when I wake up at 6:00 AM, because I get a full 8 hours of sleep every night. Like I'm supposed to.

I think it would be nice VERY NICE

Oh all you youngsters... Coming home at 2 PM? What kind of time is that? I work 8 am to 5 pm every Monday thru Friday, some days later if I am out visiting another site (office). I go up at 6.20 am and come home 6.30 ish pm. 

 

Enjoy what you have, it'll only get worse in the future in terms of amount of sleep and time spent away from home :P

On topic though; As Reibu said, starting later means leaving later. Me personally would not mind starting earlier to leave earlier. 

Oh yes, when you're not CALLING IN "SICK"!

But if anything, I wish schools would start earlier, i'd start at 6am and leave by 12pm, it would be great! Sadly, 99% of the population wouldn't agree.

If the start time were to change a few hours, then so would the end time. As much as I hate mornings, I like school ending at 2:54 PM.

 

That being said, I never have time for breakfast at home (I eat something before school starts though) and I only get about 5-6 hours sleep every week night. 

 

I used to go to school from 8:10am to 8pm. School finishing nearer to 5 for you shouldn't be seen as a bad thing. Hell, I'd take a 12pm start and finish at 12am, happy days.

Well my school starts in 8:30am and finishes at 3:45pm. I guess it isn't so bad. However if it started earlier I would always be late to school since it is impossible to wake up earlier than 7am for me even if I have slept for 14 hours beforehand... I just can't wake up before that. I also fall sleep at around 11pm normally, or in rare cases, before that. My record was to fall asleep at around 5 pm and hardly waking up at 7am next morning...
