Advantages Of Double Shift Schools

     There are different types of YRE and ESD schedules. The most popular schedule is single-track and is usually implemented for the purpose of academic improvements. On a single-track schedule children attend school year round with frequent intersessions or breaks. Typical schedules might be 90-30, 60-20, or 45-15 where the first number indicates days of instruction and the second, days of vacations (Opheim, Mohahjer, Read, 1996). There is also a multi-track schedule, which is known to be more cost efficient. This schedule is often implemented when the school is overcrowded, in poor neighborhoods, as well as in inner-city schools. On a multi-track schedule students schedules are consistent with the single-track 90-30, 60-20, or 45-15, however, students are assigned to one of the several tracks which are staggered therefore, no one group of students has the same intersession at the same time. By staggering attendance schedules, class size is deducted. Studies have concluded that decreased class size promotes more efficient learning.

Teachers would lose a lot of time in their schedules if elementary students switch classes, because teachers that has one class can extend a period if they need to. According to Lillian James, “Teachers prefer a single classroom where they can plan at their own pace”. To

In 2007, the school had a change in leadership and had students attend 2 periods per day, mourning class and afternoon class. They would complete a semester's worth of work in 21 days, then focus on 2 additional classes for another 21 days. So that at semester, students would have completed 6 classes like the rest of the building. The only hiccup with this is attendance was so bad, if students missed more than 2 days it was equivalent to missing 3 weeks of school at the comprehensive setting. Students had to have homework logs documenting how many hours of homework they had completed.

A low income school in New Haven, Connecticut started the new year telling students they would be attending school until 4:15 P.M. four days a week. New Haven teachers in an unprecedented move allowed their teacher unions to take over the rewriting of their contracts. This provided the teacher with more freedom with curriculum and time management. Although the final outcome was beneficial the origins of the extended day was not welcomed.

Many schools are now organizing school day schedules to maximize instructional time and minimize non-instructional time, such as recess (Pellegrini & Bohn, 2005). Schools made this shift in response to increased state testing and the associated pressures of funding. Some also believe that the shift to more instructional time and less non-instructional time was worsened with the adoption of Common Core standards in elementary schools. However, this may not be the best move for schools or for long-term student success.

Some schools with year-round schooling utilize something called the “multi-track” system. Essentially, the school is divided into four or five different “tracks.” Vacations are staggered between the tracks in such as way so that while three out four tracks are currently in school, the other track is on vacation. When one track returns, another track goes on vacation. By staggering vacations, overcrowded schools can alleviate some of the stress of having too many students.

When asked if the repurpose of these rooms would be enough to hold the anticipated student enrollment in the 2016-2017 program, Williams replied, “The program generally serves between 50 and 60 students per school year (October thru June); with the upcoming school year we plan to double that number.” The students will not be lumped into one common area, but move from module to module

In Alpena, the public school system has the schools transportation arriving at students houses as early as five o’clock. For some students that means waking up as early as four o’clock in the morning. Many statistics have shown that waking up extremely early in the morning is bad, and in order to attend public schooling you are required to wake up early. If kids are expected to live up to their full potential, they need to acquire between 8-10 hours of sleep. Not getting enough sleep can result in behavioral and mood issues. The lack of sleep also results in a tired brain, which doesn’t allow children to retain and learn things. School shouldn’t start so early.

Even school times should be changed to six-hour day's. As stated in the article British boarding school classes were changed from 8:30 to 10:00 in the moring, while doing this student grades improved by an average of 19%. This would mean there could be chance of less people droping out of school and or skipping class.

These “new and improved” class sizes are nightmares for teachers and professors who cannot provide the proper amount of attention to each student.

By increasing the maximum work hours, students will get the opportunity to save reasonable amount of money at the end of the month. It will enhance the quality of students’ life, and provide them enough hours to balance working positions. As an example, when the college cut hours, a student can manage two jobs and get the total amount without any rejection from employers. However, still the government should reinforce policies on campus budget cut and establish sufficient funds to maintain the possible working hours.

Extending learning time is not a new idea, however, as indicated in the introduction, a school cannot simply add an extra half-an-hour to the day and call that a timetable improvement. This is a tempting option because educational institutions and the Government spend significant portions of their budget on outside of school hours’ care, and expanded school day (days that start before 8:30 or finish after 3:30) or extension classes and specialist study programs appear to use otherwise empty time. In the Australian context, more than 40 weeks and 6 - 7 hours per day (including breaks) would constitute an extended program.

School has always been normal for me. School has always been a constant in my life and something I never really had to worry about. The rest of my life was the same way; as a child life was always happy and easy. From my family, to school, to friends, really, I never had to worry or think about the future. But as time goes on and you get older, things can change. My life became difficult and I had to become more proactive in my life. Life becoming difficult and things changing including switching schools - several times. Switching schools, of course, wasn't a traumatic experience for me, but it was still another difficult thing I was going through. It really made me change my whole life at the time because I had to become self-reliant, strong, and resilient.

“You can lead a horse to water but you cannot make it drink” – an often used adage to describe the frustration that teachers feel when they feel they have provided a student with every opportunity to succeed yet the student seemingly chooses to not invest any time into their studies. The teacher of this student knows that this student is capable of so much more than what their grades reflect. It is therefore up to the teacher to salt the proverbial “oats” to make the student thirsty for knowledge and success (Barnes, 1990). What do you do when a student does seemingly okay in class but once they leave the school, little to no work is done, and/or little to no studying is done? How do you convince the student of the
