Technology, 100% is the problem with middle and high school aged students not getting enough sleep. They sleep with their phones on, answer them throughout the night, and parents are not monitoring this as they should. Phones should be off by 9pm and in bed by 10pm. If a kid can't handle sports, a job and school work, plus get to bed on time, then sacrifices have to be made in order to get to bed on time. Kids can't have it all! When I was in high school about 15 years ago, start time was at 7:30. No one had any problems getting to school on time and doing well. This whole "scientific studies show..." is a bunch of bs. As adults, we are able to wake up early, go to work, be productive. We don't beg our bosses for a different start time. Would I love to start work later? Sure! It's just not how the real world works.
K-5 should start at 7:30 since they are up before the sun is up, and 6-12 should go in at 8:00. That way everyone will be happy.
