When I did a quick google search on double shifting, the only articles that turned up were about schools in Mexico, Rwanda and other developing countries.  And possibly in Florida for a brief period of time in the aftermath of a major hurricane. Do any school systems in the U.S. do this and on a long term basis?  How?  What are the results?[/quote]

North Carolina and California have counties that do year-round multitrack schools, and it's reflective of their lack of commitment to quality public education. It's a bullshit approach to the problem, and it is proposed by people with no real-world experience of the day-in, day-out demands of public education.

My school switched to a staggered schedule for a while after a natural disaster. I liked having the free time, but I didn't receive as good an education as I would have if it had been the normal schedule.

Great.  Arlington County, one of the most educated and wealthiest counties in America will operate their high schools like Rwanda.  All because the County Board and the School Board don't communicate with each other.[/quote]
