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]

Yep.  Even with the time after now, kids should be setting up time.  Teachers will be pulled into meetings etc and aren't likely to be sitting there waiting for someone to need help.[/quote]

That’s a fair point. But at least the teachers will be there everyday after school so that provides more days the student can come.[/quote]

Unless the time is taken up with meetings.[/quote]

It is.

I am on 3 CTs. 2 days after school I now have CT meetings (the third is during my planning), the 3rd I have department or faculty meetings 2x per month. I used to be available every day. I put in my syllabus that I have 30 minutes once per week after school when I used to be there for an hour every day for kids to drop in.[/quote]

It's so sad most of these meetings are a waste of time.[/quote]
