See, when I was in high school, I would have agreed with this, and there is something to be said for not interrupting the natural rhythms of your body. However, now I am in college, my first class starts at 9:15, and it makes no difference whatsoever. It was nice for the first week or so but then I adjusted.
My high school was 7:45-3:15 but once a month we'd have "late arrival" where we'd start at 8:54 (weird time, I know) and it didn't really make a difference. Either you stayed up later since you didn't have to start as early, or you went out to breakfast/coffee with your friends so you woke up at the same time anyway.
We have 9am starts in England. It doesn't help stuff, really.
I'm in England but all the schools I know start at 8am, what school starts at 9? I think I might move there!
They start at 8?! Which schools are these?
@994668 (Anonymous): Which cruel school is that?!?
9am is classed as an early start for my college!
My school starts around 9. Even then, people are not awake in the mornings.
I'm from Australia and school goes from 9am-3pm everyday anyway :)
This is funny because I live in Australia and we have 9AM starts. Most of us say we wish school started at 11 and went to like 5 lol.
11 o'clock*
7-2:00 suckssss and no one's awake until 9
Toronto has 9-315 every day, it really hasn't improved the attendance rate at all

My school is from 7-3 its like hell
That's a really long school day.
My high school went from 09:00 - 15:45. I don't think it makes much difference.
My high school went from 9-3... and believe me, people still didn't show up in the morning.
Normally my school goes from 8:30-3:00 but on wednesdays it goes from 9:30-3:00 and we have shorter classes
My middle school went from 9:45-4, and no one was awake then. We were more awake in high school when we went from 7:15-1:45.
My school goes from 8:50-3:45...I'd almost rather wake up earlier so I could get home earlier.
7:20-1:45
7:50 to 3:43.
Such a long day, but we have longer days and don't go to school on Fridays. (:
Really? You finish at 3:43?
Like seriously... :43?
Yes. :43.
If I knew why it was such an irregular minute, I'd tell you, but I have no idea. :
I'm pretty sure no one cares...
If school started at 9, everyone would just complain and want it to start even later. :P
I start school at 10:03 ..

My school (in New Zealand) is from 9-3.15, and if you're used to having to get to school at that time then it's still hard to wake up in time.
I wish I started at like 6am. Then I would have my whole afternoon to do stuff.
I start at 8:30 btw.
My school starts at 9, yet attendance is still shit. Now, starting at 11, that might be captivating.
i start and 1:50 and finish at 3:45 and i am still tired
