Why add 5 days to the school year?

Assume seven period school day.

If a kid wastes one minute, in every period
every day for the entire school year;

they will have wasted 1,280 minutes. (7 min x180 days)
Divide by 390 minutes in a school day, and you will find

that the student has wasted 3.2 school days.


Anyone who thinks chronically disruptive students
are wasting only a minute per period, every period,
every day;

may be an asshat. (asshat; wiki link) ( asshat picture link)
and should not be making decisions that affect
a hundred thousand teachers and students every day.

If the leadership of the APS restored order to schools,
if they restored the authority of adults over children,
if they started enforcing their own discipline policies,

as is their absolute responsibility,

the school year would be effectively lengthened by weeks, maybe months, and it wouldn't cost a dime.

Why won't one of Susie Gran, Andre Schoellkopf, or
Zsombor Peter report the truth on the abject failure
of the leadership of the APS

to do their job?
