If they banned to really care about our health, can't they do the same with school start times?
Post Body

I think the phone ban has been a good thing (it just goes too far when students can't use them in leisure time and/or money is wasted on locked pouches) for classroom engagement. But if the government can get around to limiting phone use in schools, if they really care about health and performance in school, I think that legalizing schools having to start after an even later time (I don't know, maybe like 8:30, I need to do more research on this) would have a much greater impact than the somewhat divisive phone ban on student performance.

Jesus. When does your school start? Mine would start at 8:24 (weird times because of 52 minute periods to get us out at 3:30), and I'd get there at about 8:10 so I had a good 15/20 minutes to grab breakfast, or meet up with my friends. I'd get there at 7:15 one or two days a week, but that's only because I had a "zero period" optional choir class for a few months my senior year.

I get things might be different now since most schools are under block scheduling, but getting in before 8:30ish am without a 0 period just seems kind of excessive to me. Maybe 8am, but that's pushing it.
