Why Are School Start Times So Early? A Dad’s Morning Struggle

Every morning feels like a marathon just to get my kids out the door on time. Why do schools start so early? It’s a daily battle against the clock—waking up sleepy kids, rushing through breakfast, and scrambling to find missing shoes. I remember my own school days, but somehow it feels even harder now. Sometimes I wonder if anyone else feels like they’re running a race before the sun is even up. Would a later start time make mornings less chaotic and help our kids actually be ready to learn? I’d love to hear how other families handle these early mornings! Drop your thoughts or survival tips in the comments below! #DadLife #SchoolStruggles #ParentingRealTalk #FamilyRoutine #Parenting
