            Ikr?

            Like, my kid’s school is pretty damn good. waaaaay better than it was when I went there. But it still sucks in a real sense because it’s school. You sacrifice a hell of a lot of flexibility and freedom because of the necessity of teaching as many kids as possible in an affordable way. No way to get rid of all the suck, no matter what compromises you pick to get it done.

              I’m skeptical about there being literally no way to fix it. We invented the damn thing.

    Because if you get the kids sleep deprived early in life they won’t notice how overworked and underpaid the system leaves them.

    Students need to unionize. The homework assigned is beyond unreasonable, especially when there are teachers that don’t let the students do the homework in class if they finish the in class assignments. When you get out of school you never have this much work to do at a real job. Homework barely even exists in real jobs and you should be paid a premium for it.

    Kinda /s …

    One thing that was not addressed in the article is morality. Among the other things I learned during 50 years in the workforce is that sleep is treated as a moral issue.

    Choosing to “stay up late” or choosing to “sleep in” are decadent, unless it’s a result of late socializing. Choosing to go to bed when tired instead of staying up socializing is antisocial and even an insult to others. Choosing a sleep schedule that is natural and healthy is selfish when it conflicts with the imposed schedule. Not going on-call, taking shift work, or working extended shifts demonstrate the moral failing of a bad work ethic. Students suffering because their circadian rhythms don’t match the imposed schedule are lazy or don’t care or are unintelligent.

    We’re not going to fix anything until we treat sleep and sleep schedules as biological imperatives instead of moral decisions.

    I’ve never understood this argument to start school later. Shouldn’t the kids just go to bed earlier? If school starts later aren’t they just going to stay up later? The amount I sleep is usually a choice on at least one side of the equation.

    Edit- Actually read the article, apparently there’s a actually some science to it, interesting

        Wow, I admit that I was wrong and I learned something and that’s the response I get, pretty awesome community. I’ve heard this arguments for years, but never science to it. I’m open minded enough to take new information and science into account and adjust my opinion on things, which you know in today’s world is not that common. But sure I’m the jackass. Thanks
