Even if this is a real issue, its not like we cant do something like use special lighting in schools for the start of the day. Might cost something to set up, but its possible.
they are talking about getting to school. so dangerous for walking/biking/waiting for transit. Again though they decide when the school day starts and ends. They don’t need to change everyone elses clock for it.
When school starts is more about the standard 9-5 workday. Parents need to be able to drop the kids off and then get to work. We could absolutely change it, but we’d also need to change the workday.
The start time is often not a match for sleep cycles of children over the various ages, but about the work schedule.
I still see that as something that workplaces should just do then. One of the enshitification things that annoys me is in the 90’s you had this thing with businesses where you could start at a time you wanted withing a sliding window and then work 8.5 hours from there. A place I was at did 7am to 10am and then meetings took place between 10am and 3pm when everyone was sure to be there. Was great for avoiding rush hour. Feels like these things are like bussiness people fads then they chase the next thing. Honestly I don’t see how the adult work day makes much of a difference given the schoolday is shorter than the workday. Parents have to work that stuff out anyway.
