According to the National Sleep Foundation:

"Biological sleep patterns shift toward later times for both sleeping and waking during adolescence -- meaning it is natural to not be able to fall asleep before 11:00 pm. Teens need about 9 1/4 hours of sleep each night to function best. Most teens do not get enough sleep. Not getting enough sleep or having sleep difficulties can: Limit your ability to learn, listen, concentrate and solve problems. Skipping sleep can be harmful -- even deadly, particularly if you are behind the wheel. ... Drowsiness and falling asleep at the wheel cause more than 100,000 car crashes every year. When you do not get enough sleep, you are more likely to have an accident, injury and/or illness."

Thus if a child has to meet the school bus at 6:32 AM, that means they had to arise by about 5:30 AM. This means that in order to get 9 1/2 hours of sleep, they have to be in bed and asleep by 8:00 PM. How many teenagers do you know get to bed by 8:00PM? Very few if any.

Not only is it a life or death matter attending the nation's public schools given so many mass shootings, but growing kids are forced up get up at farmer's hours after having as little as 5 or 6 hours of sleep. Is it any wonder children fall asleep in class and lead sleep-deprived lives? Is it any wonder many children turn to drugs, illegal as well as pharmaceutical?

This means compulsory government schools are literally forcing the impossible on kids. Some say this is little more than child abuse. No wonder home schooling is one of the fastest growing movements in America.  

The current school system is a remnant of the Prussian school of education.  See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prussian_education_system
