Sports could happen in the morning if school started later, they tend to be more free daycare than the root cause here. Sports have become a priority in schools, which will cause teachers to become resentful and blame them for everything.

I doubt it. You figure an hour to gather and travel to a game location, 2 hours for the game, an hour to return... schools would have to start at noon.

And can you blame them? Why are sports being prioritized by institutions whose existential purpose has nothing to do with athletics?

If you guess it would take five hours, they could gather at 5 AM and school starts at 10.

>And can you blame them?

No. Doesn't change that they would be unfairly blaming this particular issue on sports.
