I remember high school back in the 1970's. Classes started at 8:30 and had 6 periods. But the last one was all optional classes. It's deranged they didn't flip that.

Feels like start times have gotten worse. Especially due to paranoia about letting kids walk around by themselves. Busing and low density suburbs. And school closures. Probably also administrators impulse to inflict control on students and teachers.
