From what I've heard the "early hours" you are talking about are: High school/middle school students start at 7:30 and going to 2:30, normal elementary school hours. And Elementary school starting at 9:00-3:30. My question then becomes, since I have an elementary school age child and I have to be at work at 8:00 where does my child go until then? He is not old enough to stay home and be responsible for getting himself to the bus stop at the correct time. Am I going to have to get before school daycare AND after school daycare? That's just going to make daycare centers have to drop off and pick up young kids. It's a bad idea all around for elementary kids to have to be in that late for working parents. Make the high school/middle school students go to school at 9:00 and get out at 4:00. The are old enough to get themselves to the bus stop and wait there by themselves.
