The kids are just being short-changed. The most important thing for them and their quality of education is their time with teachers. Not time on their own, parent Steve Rauber said.
Rauber is leading the charge against the new school bell systems. The so-called four-by-four model would allow students to take two extra classes per year. But to do so, the year s worth of material for each class would be covered in just one semester. The eight is untenable for most average students, especially with anyone playing sports, or extracurricular activities or anything outside of school itself, Rauber said.
Nearly 30 people at Tuesday s socially distanced meeting, and more online, voiced their opinions. Most were against the change, fearing the average student would be left behind.
