In terms of what time they go to bed? I might be missing something here but what I meant was that they'd just go to bed since school doesn't start that early, so they'd lack sleep again anyways.

The idea is that teenagers find it really hard to go to bed early. But school still starts very early. So they end up sleeping less than they should to function. The anti biology stance of "they should go to bed earlier" is not helpful. What's helpful is starting school later, let them have their vigil time into later hours, then they can sleep and recover fully, and do better at school. Thus potentially creating better educated adults.

See there's your problem. We can't have all these better educated adults in a functioning society. They'll become all liberal and ruin our perfectly established capitalism with their cries for a living wage or whatever peasants call for these days.

Can confirm. My last two years of high school it started at 9, and I'm now a leftist who believes decentralization is a virtue

Imagine if I didn't have to get up at 6 the first 2 years...I might've even tried organizing or something. Instead I'm just tired most of the time

I’m pretty sure teenagers are naturally programmed to go to bed at later times.
