I start at 7 and have to walk or bike 6 miles to school every morning because both my parents work so cant drive me.That means I start my trek to school around 6AM and your complaining about starting at 8?
You live in the united states and are getting a free education so you should stfu and stop complaining about getting a little less sleep. Tons of people would kill for the education you are getting, I think you can live.

I go to southwest too! The story behind it is school has always started at 8:30. The minneapolis school district is giving high schools the option to start 8:00 if they are trying to instate a 7 period day. Southwest already has had 7 periods with the 8:30 start time for the past several years. They are saying the earlier start time will allow them to add 2 extra minutes to each period. This seems pretty pointless to us students especially with all the recent studies showing that high school students need more sleep and how beneficial it is to puch school start times to be later, not earlier.

8 isn't even a bad start time. I really don't see your issue with this besides being lazy.

Try waking up at 4:30am, working until 2pm and then doing school until 7pm.

I lived in a SMALLLLLLLL town in the mountains. Had 8 kids in my class. It's a K-9 school. For 7-9 the school day went just before 8 to 3:18. It was a long school day compared to most. That said we got an extra period because of it and came out ahead of the game.

Only shitty thing was rolling into high school a after freshman year. I went to school an hour away so it was a little weird but whatever.

I don't know what that has to do with you OP but it's story time and I wanted to share. Wait till you see what I brought for show and tell.(it's not my dick)


Okay it's definitely my dick.
