Well written article. Later start times are NOT the answer. They are not looking at the big picture and the negative impact on the students, parents and community.

I agree. I went to Faifax county schools many years ago 45 to be exact and I never heard anyone complain that it was too early to school. We went to bed when our parents told us to, of course we didnt have things like the computer, cells phone and tv to keep us up. Tv wasnt on all night either way back when.

Daily Horoscope for May 21

Leo

This is a great day for fixing things that have gone wrong. If there have been ructions in your relationship with a certain person this is when you can sort things out and get them back on track. If an appliance or gadget is going on the blink, this is your cue to either get it mended or chuck it out and replace it. You may also find time to tidy up your immediate surroundings or take all those bottles and papers to your nearest recycling center. How virtuous you'll feel when it's all done!
