School starts way too flippin' early.  Kid2 was on the struggle bus something fierce today. He had to be woken multiple times and then once his behind did get moving, he ranted and growled like a rabid bear.  

 

I don't even make him ride the school bus because it would pick him up at 6am...school starts at 7:16am.  But still - both kids have to be up long before the first light of day.  It's ridiculous and there's apparently a recent study done in Virgina, I believe the doctor told us, that essentially proved suicide rates decreased in teenagers that attended school during hours that were more suited to their natural circadian rhythms.

If we get mini-Dave into year-round school (and the schedule doesn't change), he'd start at 9:20, which is probably a bit late if PRG insists that's too young to take the bus, but workable as long as she's still working Pacific time hours. Or they've got before-school programs too, I guess.

 

Only a few more weeks until local school district starts taking enrollment forms for next year, and I want to do that ASAP because I need to do that to apply for year-round school (it's literally a couple of blocks down the street from the elementary school he'd go to otherwise).

 

How is he less than a year from starting kindergarten already?

 Same thing here, it's nuts. Another reason I'm glad we homeschool them. The Tornado doesn't get up until noon most days. I was told some BS story about it is because or working parents. Which is total BS because most still have to use before and aftercare since school still doesn't match up to working hours. 

Back home they had a high school that did not start until 10am and there was still wiggle room depending on certain classes.
