Letter: No need to change school start times in Barrington

Posted

To the editor: As I sit here and read the article about switching the start times for the whole school district, I am wondering why? Is it because we are trying to follow a study? I totally disagree with this.

Our children have never had a problem with this over the past 40 years. Our children score number 1 in all the tests given throughout the state. We rank as one of the best school systems in the country.

If this happens, think of the long term affects it will have on the high school sports programs. Practices will not start until 4. At least now, our children will not be getting home until later, there will be conflicting schedules in the winter for gym use, seeing since we only have the large gym now.

It seems we always try to fix things that are not broken.

Please leave the start and stop times the way they are.
