I love River Monsters, I wish someone would come up with a new show for Jeremy.

Got it, I'll quit now

Brian Fargo himself has debunked this. It's just an internet rumour which seems to have started on Reddit. Vault Boy is just meant to be a cheery inspirational mascot who's doing a thumbs up and a wink to encourage people.

Did it work??

Thank god, we need it.

I hear this a lot as a USA high school teacher. The problem with this is would make all the after school activities (such as the beloved sports programs) start later too - students would be getting home from practices and especially games far too late.

I've thought this should be obvious to school boards and superindents since learning about circadian rhythms in 10th grade Biology in 1984. Also would reduce the time the teens have alone before their parents get home. Start the little kids early and you'd need fewer buses too.

That'll happen after the 4-day work week, universal health care and mandated paid vacation.

Teachers unions continue to push back on later (appropriate)start times because of the logistics of end times and what that means for them working late.

but then adults dont get their free daycare to further ignore raising their kids.

In that respect I agree 100% with the CDC. I rarely got enough and:or sufficiently restorative sleep as a teenager and that definitely had negative impacts on my health and academic performance. As an educational professional, I also believe firmly that sleep should be a priority in our every day and we should both encourage students and their families to take care of themselves and make sure that we are taking care of ourselves!

I think these early start times are just artifacts from when the majority of people lived on farms and got up sometimes hours before dawn, so sending your kids off (when they did) after doing their chores wasn't considered so early.

Since when has this country followed common sense?

Honest question. Is this something that has happened for long time or has to do with kids going to bed late due to use of electronic devices until late?

I had a relatively early bedtime for my age. Like 10pm when I was a teen. I would have my light out but never felt alone, so I would stay up staring at my night light next to my bed or the digital clock. Just watching time go by, for a long time. I'd end up passing out around midnight.

middle schools where i live open at 8:05 😭

They'd just stay up later knowing they started school later.

can we do this for the work week too?

Yes! Yes! Yes!

In our area, high schools begin an hour later than elementary schools.

YES! But... they should also learn that employment may require them to come in at early hours so … they need to get use to it.

In high school we had public transportation The bis picked up top of my road at 7:30. School started 8:40, gave you an hour to walk around town, get breakfast, head to school early get breakfast there, g out with friends I dont remember when the final bell rang maybe 2:40? but again, had to take public transport and i believe the one bus came at 3:15 which i know school was over but we had to walk for a cpl minutes to get to the bus stops & if we missed that, I wasn't getting home till almost 5 because the next bus wouldn't come for another 40min and with all the stops, it sucked, but it was either that or find a ride which can take even longer sometimes! School was a total of 7hrs, shorter than a work day.

Or they could actually get off their damn phones/computers and laptops......and sleep.

It's normal for teens to go to bed and get up later.

Wish they'd done this when I was in school! We had a LOOOOOONG walk to school in darkness

This has been known for years, yet schools CONTINUE AS ALWAYS! We just have Morons in charge!!

Maybe they should go to bed earlier?

Since 1970’s they have been saying this! Why not?

This fact surfaced at least a decade ago, if not longer.

this absolutely we need.

Teens are naturally supposed to be nocturnal. This is a survival thingy.

Thankfully, in my kids' school district, elementary kids start the earliest, and high school kids the latest. It's still probably too early for teens, but at least it's something?

I agree they should start school later in the morning. So teenagers don't fall asleep in class.

The school I attended for 9th grade started at 9:20 and it's amazing what a difference that makes!

And yet this won't change a thing, school's only listen to studies that benefit their view, no matter how many studies there are the school system won't change
