I’d rather have more daylight in the afternoon than bend time around a poorly chosen schedule set by schools.

You make a compelling argument for the schools starting later, they should do that.

Schools should start later. But those times don't exist in a vacuum—for obvious logistical reasons, you generally want the kids to be in school before the parents have to be at work.

High schools here start at 8:15, it’s earlier if you have a bus. How late is the proposal?

More importantly, why tie recent science (which can change) about the high school population with our standard of time.

Solve that problem separately.
