To all of you who have commented on my post yesterday:
No, you didn´t ruffle any feathers.
Free flow of ideas has been accomplished.
Sorry if my words were not properly written. Getting up late is not lazyness or wrong.
It is just that the world is scheduled as such, and we gotta live in it, like it or not. You can make your best effort to change it (we are all expected to do that at one point or another). I have been always an early riser (3:30 to 4:00 a.m. is my norm), yet my wife and kids are all late risers (10:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m.), yet they were never late for either school or work.
Alisha 1112 has summed up several good reasons to conserve the status quo. There are many others.
As a doctor and a professional investigator, I am well aware of the circadian rhytms that every person has, for lack of a better term, “factory-installed” since birth.
Many scientific studies notwithstanding, the fact remains: Most people (greater than 50%) can wake up early without too much trouble, kids and teenagers included.
As a matter of fact, I am now supervising a scientific study into the sleeping habits of some well-to-do high school kids to see what is the percentage of kids who arrive late into school due to late sleep-in, or suffer in their grades due to falling asleep in class, in order to make recommendatiosn to the school board of directors about the convenience of keeping the present school schedule or modify it.
Study should be ready for completion and presentation for May 1st. of this year. I´ll keep you posted.
My personal opinions are left out of this study. The hard data will be the hard data, and I will base my recommendartions on the data, not on my personal opionions.
I would have thought Calvin would have been more accurate with his snowballs [death ray blaster]. You can’t defeat Zogwargs when your aim is that poor.
The military tired this years ago only to find if you moved the starting time later in the morning the troops will just stay up later at night and the same ones were still late. Being on time has alot to do with ones self. Not to say some have a medical condition that causes them to not sleep well, but most just need to adjust by going to bed a little sooner.
we are longing for the appearence of the space tiger hero - but probalby he would just suggest Spiff to yield to those Zogwargs, in order to learn from them…
But Spaceman Spiff is no match for the rocket scooters and is quickly captured by the Zogwards. As he’s led off into the torture chambers, Spiff quickly plans his next daring escape…

So much for the death ray blaster. The Zogwargs are still coming

He failed to arm a demiso bomb! Otherwise he would have made it.

The young man needs the ‘board of education’ applied firmly to his ‘seat of learning’.

Spiff would have made it if his rockets were DOWNWARDS, not UPWARDS.
Calvin’s in real hot water.

I hit my mother after she spanked me. Why’d you hit me?” “You hit me first.” You know how long it is till your father gets home?

Now I know why Watterson stopped drawing C & H. Calvin’s parents begged him to stop - they couldn’t take it any longer!

If Spiff would zig and zag instead of just fly straight, he might lose the evil Zogwarg.
