- DO NOT DOXX YOUR KIDS - Seriously, use an alt for this comm or keep it vague; otherwise we’re centralizing info about everyone’s kids into a single place that can be easily focused on.
- No jokes about dead kids - I don't care how much the romanovs deserved it, or how right John Brown was, save it for another comm.
- No antinatalism struggle sessions

Yeah. School schedules are just wack across the board. The smaller kids always go in later, the older kids always go in earlier, and in reality it should be switched. I think it's even been studied, and it shows that younger kids are awake earlier and go to bed earlier, and older kids wake up later and go to bed later. In my district the Elementary school doesn't start until 8:55 and yet, my job (at the same school system) starts at 7:30, my wife has to be at work around the same time. I'm fortunate because I work where she's going to school, so she'll hang out with me before and after. I'm sure for many people they try to use before and after care services, but those all cost something to some extent, even my district doesn't provide that for free.
