The school thing is a challenge. If the parents have to be at work 8-5 plus time to drive there, the kids have to be up at the same time so they can be dropped off either at school or a day care setting to be put on a bus later. If the parent has a longer drive to work, the child must get up that much earlier. I don't really know how to solve this problem.

Our school district has a before school program starting as early as 7:00 so kids that need to be can be dropped off early, but most kids arrive much later. Classes don't start until 9:00 at our school.

Isn't that the same thing though? It's a very common problem without an easy solution.

Kind of the same, but at least it gives parents options. Most kids arrive just before classes start, instead of forcing everybody to get there really early.
