Me: Dad, can I get some gum?
Dad: Do you have money?
Me: You don’t give me an allowance.
Dad: Get a job.

My bus comes at 6:28 every morning but school doesn’t technically start til 7:40. It doesn’t really matter though when you’ve gotta be out of the house by 6:20 at the latest. Middle school was worse though. It started around 7:20.
Letting teens sleep in could save the US over $9 billion dollars a year.
Studies show teenage brains are wired to stay up and wake up late, they need 8 to 10 hours of sleep per night, and that school therefore starts too early.
It is estimated that high school classes starting after 8:30 am or later would improve student health, boost graduation rates, raise lifetime earning potential, and lower the risk of fatigue-related car crashes, all of which could potentially contribute at least $83 billion to the US economy within a decade.

In the state of Tennessee, it is illegal for someone to change the gender marker on their identification papers, even after gender reassignment surgery. ID is supposed to identify someone. There is NO reason that a woman’s ID should identify her as male. Absolutely none. Please go sign this petition. It would mean the world to so many trans people living in Tennessee.
