Kubow, Particia K; Wahlstrom, Kyla L.; Bemis, Amy E.
Phi Delta Kappan, v80 n5 p366-71 Jan 1999
Using teacher surveys and focus groups, a University of Minnesota study examined the effects of changing school starting times on school operations at all levels and on the community. The least desirable start time was 9:40 a.m. at middle schools. Later schedules benefited high school students. No one schedule can accommodate everyone. (MLH)
