Actually I did read a study a few years ago that criticized the early
start times for schools, stating that kids would learn better if school
started at 10:00 a.m. rather than 7:30-8:00 a.m.. The early start times
are for the convenience of the teachers and staff who need less sleep.

If she was at FSU she was there for her MRS degree. Anyone with a brain,
male or female, is at UF.

I am sure that many parents prefer early start times too, so they can
get to their jobs on time before they drop their kids off at school.

Most folks are well-aware of the one-hour cut-off. Its usually clearly
stated on a receipt or check-in instruction. But for FSU Seminoles,
English comprehension can be a challenge.

Exactly. A Gator would never do anything that dumb. She was probably
headed to Tallahassee to get her Dillard's FSU discount.
