[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] 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. [/quote]
