Sorry I forget there’s a bunch of context I forget to lay out
Maybe 80% of high schools here are boarding schools, that’s what I’m talking about.
So most of these these boarding schools force the students to get up at 4:00am-5:00am to prepare ,and work until 10pm in the evening. It sounds crazy but the schools honestly think this torrid regime will get better results for their students. Of course students end up trying to steal extra sleep wherever they can, just to get by.
With 2 students we were helping with high school where I think this contributed to serious mental health problems at the school, and one ended up leaving school.
Thanks! Now it makes sense how a decree would help. I imagine some additional culture shift would be needed to make sure that the kids weren’t still under a lot of pressure, just less overt.
