How can students learn anything in only a half day of classes?
We cut the fat out of the standard school day and only focus on core academics. There are no physical education classes, no lunch hours, no pep rallies, no homeroom classes, and no daily announcements. And due to the reduced need for discipline and bureaucracy, class time is spent more efficiently. Morning students may stay into the afternoon, whether to get extra academic help or to play chess. Afternoon students my come as early as they want for extra help or to spend time with their friends.
