Teny Shapiro : Starting School Later in the Day : LA Times

Professor Teny Shapiro’s research into the benefits of starting school later in the day was mentioned in an op-ed in the Los Angeles Times.

Teny Shapiro, assistant professor of economics, was recently referenced in an op-ed piece in the LA Times that pointed out the numerous benefits of a later start to the school day for American children and teenagers.

Her research was quoted in the piece:
