Good. Too many teachers were waltzing out the door as soon as the kids left. There was no chance for a kid to even go get help or ask a question unless it was scheduled in advance. Now teachers have to stay after until 3:30 and I think that is ultimately better for the kids. [/quote]

Every Middle and High School has a built in "remediation" time. It's usually called [mascot] time. That is a built in time for students to get extra help. So after school isn't the only option[/quote]

As I’m sure you are well aware, mascot time is a joke. The school uses it to administer their pointless multitude of surveys all year long to the students (SEL screener, youth survey, signs of suicide, etc), any standardized reading and math tests, and of course let’s not forgot the ridiculous SEL lessons which take half the period. Often times students have no work time or greatly reduced work time. And if they haven’t scheduled the time to visit the teacher in advance or the teacher forgets to make them an electronic pass, forget it. Oh and they take mascot time away on pep rally days. So no, it’s not really a good time to get extra help. [/quote]
