What Is Your Elementary Age Kids' Bedtime?

I've read/heard in mulitple sources that kids in elementary school still need an average of 10 hours of sleep a night. We aim for a bedtime between 8 and 8:30 to get up at 6:30 a.m. for school but hubs does not always enforce/support and my oldest especially says her bedtime is WAY earlier than her friends (which is exaggerated I'm sure but not sure how much). I feel like it is a battle every night still at this age to get the kids to bed. I wonder if there is ever a day when they will put themselves to sleep! I just know well-rested kids...
