Actually waking up whenever is the best for their future
Sleep is one of the most important needs of a child/teenager, they will be better able to learn if rested, less moody, concentrate better, feel happier
Teenagers in particular have a body clock shift of about 2 hrs, where they cant help but go to bed later and wake up later, if you cater for this, teens will be less moody and better able to cope with learning, in conventional schools teens are forced to get up even earlier to their detriment
As for the workforce hours, as adults they will adjust with ease because their body clock is now far more flexible (one advantage of growing up)
