I think an important part of the conversation is that most teens have a different circadian rhythm.

Ideally, the schools start late enough that teens can go to bed at midnight or 1 AM and still have enough time to get the sleep they need. Instead of school ending at 2 or 3 o'clock in the US, why not end at 5pm and make the start time later?
