FIXIN’ WHAT AILS ‘EM
Unique pointed out that apparently an extra 15 minutes a day will work wonders.
JOHNSTON COUNTY, N.C. — Students in Johnston County could be spending more time in the classroom soon.
The county’s school board will discuss Tuesday whether to extend the high school day by 25 minutes.
Most middle school and some elementary school students would spend an extra 15 minutes in class.
School leaders say longer days will help struggling students and those working on special projects.

15 minutes?! In my high school they’d have given everyone a 15 minute smoke break or risk a riot 🙂 Did anyone else have a smoking area at their high school? |

Unofficial only. But this was SC in the ’70s. Smoking was legal for 16yo with parental permission. |

Yes. In Florida in the mid 80’s. |

We had a big covered area outside. No age limits, nothing. There were sand pits and everything, and it was cleaned and maintained by the custodial staff. How that ever flew I will never know 🙂 |
