That makes sense.

Where I live our school system makes stupid decisions, such as:
 * Year Round- four tracks of kids. Each track is in school for nine weeks and out for three. There is a week between each grade.
 * Benefits- Saving money. UMMMMM
 * The Horribles- Friends are on different schedules, NO SUMMER, if it snows there's school on a Saturday... (etc. etc. etc.)
 * Messed-up Wednesdays- Add ten minutes onto the average school day. Take off an hour every Wednesday. After doing the math, that's taking off ten minutes out of each week. That's THIRTY HOURS off the year. And we wonder why America suddenly sucks at school.
 * Bussing- Okay, would you want to get up an hour earlier then most of the county population to go to school? Yeah, they wonder why we're so tired. THIS IS WHY.
