Highschools get out first in a lot of the country to allow older students to go to afterschool jobs, participate in afterschool sports, or to be home when the younger kids return home. If every student and worker was on the same schedule you would have scenarios where sports wouldn’t get out until very late and younger kids could be at home alone.
around here highschool is shifted to later start and end and there isn't any chaos. but they also have access to transportation and parent can leave them homs alone legally.
the real issuse is k-5. my kids start at 730 and are done at 2. That means i have to leave work at 1. literally half a day of work and then i have to leave. i don't get paid enough to do child care so i have to work from home with kids and have a gap mid day due to commute.
