Holden Culotta Yesterday I learned of a school district that starts its bus runs at 4:52 am! It doesn't matter how early a teen "goes to bed" with hours like that. But many families are required by law to deprive their children of sleep to send them to school. #startschoollater
The alarms on A’Nya Lucas’ phone go off at 5, 5:15, 5:20 and 5:30am so she can get out the door by 6:08. The time between her first alarm and her first period class (7:45am) is nearly 3 hours. She won’t get back home until 6 or 7pm. #startschoollater thebaltimorebanner.com/education/k-12…
