We, the undersigned, object to the unilateral mandate issued to Memphis City Schools changing the start times of the school day. We respectfully request that our 7:30 a.m. start time remain unchanged due to the hardship which will result from the proposed time change. We believe that such a change will adversely affect the performance of our students.

I am honestly a bit overwhelmed by the way people have stepped up to support this. Seeing so many others share this same concern reminds me that this issue really belongs to all of us.

My son gets home at a decent hour now but if they move it he will be doing homework until midnight. stop moving things around just to move them.

Why fix what isnt broken. Kids are used to the 7:30 start time. messing with it will only hurt grades.

7:30 works for us. Changing the start time for no reason is just gonna cause major traffic in the morning and make everyone late.

This is ridiculous. Working parents rely on the current schedule to get to work on time. Dont change it!!
