Abstract	Policymakers around the world search for an optimal school schedule to enhance student's academic achievement. In this paper, I examine the effect of the 9 o'clock attendance policy on student's academic performance in South Korea. I find little evidence that delaying the school schedule positively affects pupil's performance when I control for an extensive list of characteristics or an individual fixed effect. My result implies that individual's omitted heterogeneities might confound results of previous literature which supports positive effects. I show that the effect of delaying the school starting time is likely to come from a good bird (self-selection effect) rather than a late bird (policy treatment effect). Therefore, we need to be cautious when interpreting the effect of postponing the school starting time, and more analysis and discussion are necessary on the education front. (As Provided).
