Reply to comment by HistoricalSubject in Lower Merion again delays implementing later start times for high school — until 2024 by Dryheavemorning

I attended a high school where the first class started at 6:50. It sucked wet duck ass.

whether youre there an hour earlier or an hour later, school always sucks. this isn't going to change that. i consider myself a leftist, but this type of stuff is just liberal pillow throwing. turn everyone into a soft fleshed amoeba that is guaranteed by scientific studies to be perpetually comfortable. then, once all resistance and discipline of the human spirit is extinguished, they'll start putting wires into our brains. comfort will then be programmed instead of legislated. utopia here we come!!

There is a difference between school sucking because it is school, and school sucking because 16-year-old students have to be up at 5:45 in the morning to get there on time.

thats just wire brain stuff

the human animal is fragile. but its not so fragile that we need to cater to every one of its modern weaknesses.

we didn't survive as a species for 300,000 years, colonize and inhabit the planet, endure a few ices ages and become the top of the food chain because our biological body just couldn't get up an hour earlier.

i understand i sound a little crazy. but that stuff is just tossing pillows to lay down and continue atrophying on IMO

School was awesome and I loved learning and socializing. I was just cripplingly tired for more than half the day.
