The most important part of trust is listening. It's making people feel heard. Social media has none of that. - Aaron Carroll of #AcademyHealth at #APHA1925 on building public trust in science

Nearly half of Florida's high schools require students to be in class before 7:30am (with bus pickups before 5am in some).

Is no time too early for school? Do these districts REALLY have no alternative to doing real harm to real children?

So proud of the powerhouse team of students, school board members, educators, parents, and sleep, health, and psychology experts who testified today about critical #startschoollater legislation in Maryland to protect student sleep, health, safety & well-being

Louisiana has the earliest high school start times in the USA - but it's far from alone in starting classes so early that many teens have to wake before dawn & swap sleep, mental health & safety for school
