Certainly the adolescents should start later. The problem I saw in Montgomery County, Maryland, is that the first bus pick-up times are in the dark for much of the year. The county reasonably thinks it better to have a crowd of 15 to 18-year-olds on the corner in the dark than a bunch of 5 to 10-year-olds.

Same deal for Howard County, MD. We had to get up at 6 to be on the bus by 6:30, and it was pitch black outside in the winter months. Luckily I had an forty-minute bus ride, which provided the opportunity for some extra rest.
