America’s school day starts too early. That’s beginning to change

Why oh why does it take so long for an obvious change? This &quot;too early for adolescents&quot; pattern and reporting on it has been going on for over 20 years. I doubt the teachers or anyone else finds it productive either.

Why this hasn&#x27;t been a thing when I went to school? Hated it so much, to be torn out of a dream and taking long walks half sleeping.<p>Hope the kids of the future will have it better.
