New California law requires high schools to start later

I wouldn't say "nothing to do with parents." But kids in that age range can do quite a few things on their own. I was in college in a different city at 16.

It's not so much them getting to school on their own, yes they can easily do that. It's making sure they are actually awake. When my kids were teens, if someone was not there to make sure they got up, they would sleep until 10 or 11. Alarms, etc. had basically no effect they could sleep through a tornado.

The later you start school, the less of an issue this will be.

Fair enough. I was driven to high school by my mother. 9am classes in university were tough and they were just a short walk away :-)

I'm not just talking about the getting to school part. I'm also talking about setting the time part via parents at the board meetings.
