Are teachers really the ones pushing for such early starts of school? Anecdotally, most teachers I know don't love waking up at 5am in order to get ready and get to school on time. I always thought the early start was to have enough time in the afternoon and evening for after-school activities, but not sure.

I believe it's basically sports plus buses (times are staggered so the same buses can be used for several school levels).

My understanding was, it's so teenagers can get home before their younger siblings.
