McKinney ISD requires high school students to start school a whole hour
earlier than the recommended time from the CDC. It was pushed forward
due to the budget, however, all incoming freshmen receive a MacBook Air.
Students are also required to drive to school during rush hour. These
early times have students barely able to stay awake and cause them to be
less productive. 2/3 of students get less than 7 hours of sleep and end
up sleeping in class because of this. Overall, students are less
productive with these early start times, which causes unneeded stress to
the already stressful lives of teenagers.
fix the start times already. we should spend that macbook money on something that actually helps kids get some rest
