Yeah, a few hours of optional study hall before or after school would be so good. It gives some buffer for the studious kids. Plus, 50% of class time is wasted

Yeah, a few hours of optional study hall before or after school would be so good. It gives some buffer for the studious kids. Plus, 50% of class time is wasted anyway. Just teach essentials. Getting on my soap box: most important buildings in an educational institution are the library and the sports hall. Healthy mind in healthy body. Dial in formal instruction tactfully. That's really it.
