I work in a district where folks complain about having 15 students in a class for 4, 60 minute classes a day (five total with one prep). I came from a district near Albany, NY where we had 30+ students and not enough seats or books (5 classes, 40-45 min, with 2 preps). Many of the teachers I work with have never worked in another state, so they have nothing to compare their conditions to.

Biddeford High School has a late start time (doors open at 8:15, first block starts at 8:35am. The students get out at 2:50pm) and the kids still complain of being tired and not sleeping enough at night. The late start has not interfered with sports or the students ability to work.

One pass done. I’ll shovel again after the heaviest wave is done and maybe once more before bed. 2-3 times.
