Kids are getting really over-scheduled.
Here, the school day begins at 8:30 (K-6). So, they need to be up by 7:30 at the latest to get dressed and eat breakfast then catch the bus.
School dismisses at 3:20. Home by 3:45. Everyone has homework, regardless of grade, and of course, there are activities to participate in.
My kids have a very strict bed time of 8:00 so I feel like they're rested, but I know a lot I parents allow their gradeschoolers to stay up until 10:00.
Youngsters need their sleep.
