My high school in Virginia started classes at 7:20am. It meant I had to be at the bus stop at 6:50am, and that meant getting up at 6am if I wanted to eat breakfast.

As someone who had a night owl tendency and a distinct interest in computers, I ended up staying up late most nights. I'd get 4 or 5 hours of sleep and it was never enough. In 10th grade I just gave up on school because I saw no value in the torture of getting up that early for classes I learned nothing in anyway.
