Anchorage School High School start times need to move to 5:30am

High School start times in Anchorage need to move to 5:30am.  When the high school kid faces the real world.  The employer chooses the start time.  Early start time produces a great work ethic.  I can tell you moving the start time later does not help the student if they have a part time job.  School students are only allowed to work til 7pm since Alaska employment laws consider school part of the work schedule.  High school students can only work four hours a day.  Put the start time later put activities later if they are involved in sports.  Let's be honest most students do not get more than 5 hours a sleep a night.  Later start times just give students and excuse to stay up later than they should.  Want to help high school students move start times to 5:30am.
