    Our school started at 8:30 for a whole year, it sucked ass. Since it was high school, the classes going until 4:30 was impossible to manage with a job, I’d end up getting home around 12:00 just to get a normal shift in. Extracurriculars lasted until 6:00! No time to do homework. Waking up early is a part of life, considering we can’t just lengthen the day.

      Seems like the lesson is that students shouldn’t need to have a job while going to school because they have enough to do already.

        That’s true! Personally I wanted money to buy a car. Public transport would have been nice. But it was a little bit self inflicted

      That’s like 1.5 hours longer than the school day here what the heck are yall in school for 8 hours straight for. If we started at 9 we’d be out at 3:30.

        Been a while since I was in school, but high school went from 8:00 am to 3:00 pm. The bus arrived at my house at 7:30 and dropped me off at 3:30.

        The school day consisted of four 1.5 hour classes, we had three 10 min breaks between classes and a 30 min lunch.
