Re: The Bus Dilemma:

Start your elementary schools at about 7:45. That leaves morning routines for younger students in the parents field. That’s the first wave. Middle school can start at 8:30 to 9:00, older kids starting that adolescent shift. Starting about then also puts both school groups off at about 4:40 Pm. High school students can then have a morning that starts about 9:45-10:15 AM, and that means they get to maximize their sleep schedules, and that ALSO means that younger students are in school by the time their older schoolmates are on the road. That also means that buses are not on the road for most city rush hours.

High school students can then do after-school activities indoors, where the rooms are already lit, or outdoors at fields that are already lit. Since lord KNOWS most schools with a sports program will have big lights for their fields, and the art classrooms will be dumpster diving.
