The cause of this petition is to change the arrival time at MacArthur High School (Aldine isd) in Houston,Texas to 7:30 am. Students at MacArthur High School must be through the metal detectors before 6:55 am. Anything later than that will result in after school D- Hall until 5 pm. If a student gets more that five d-halls they will receive SAC, a parent conference, & will be put on a contract that "we don't want to get on" ( a quote from Mrs.Gary head of come late stay late). Kids are forced to wake up at FOUR IN THE MORNING just to make it on time to their bus stops at 5:30. Students stay up all night just to get their homework done. Teachers stay up all night grading papers. How can either be in their right mind with only 3 hours of sleep. Kids who ride a car to school are forced to deal with the horrendous traffic of cargo trucks, people trying to get to work other students and the kids that go to the school across from MacArthur, which starts at the same time as MacArthur. Last year we started school at 7:15 am and got out at 2:45 pm this year we start school at 6:55 am and end at 2:45 pm. This may seem like I'm blowing things out of proportion, but it's go big or go home. Side note: The picture is of me waking up at 5:30 am
