So the article suggests 830. Are these kids just going to be going to sports before school, of course some already do like hockey due to ice time. But doesn't that make this entire thing a wash for a large portion of kids?

I was in line with the current MA start time I was not getting out of regular sports between 630-800pm pending the sport, meet, season we are talking about. So now that's all gonna be like an hour later?

We would have like an hour break after school before practice unless you were weightlifting that day so basically not enough time to do any work or decompress.

The real question is: what is the priority for schools, academics or athletics?

Lol we all know that answer.but whether that's the case or not still a lot of kids will be affected and other after school programs of the like.

I grew up in the Midwest. We started hugh school at 8:15 and finished at 3:15. Sports etc. ran 3:30-5 or 5:30. Winter sports are indoors anyway (swimming, basketball, hockey) so it didn’t matter that it was dark by the time practices ended.

That is a much better schedule for students, teachers, and parents than the outrageous 7:10-1:45 schedule Worcester has.
