Here’s the Math Every student gets – 168 hours each week (7 days x 24 hours) Subtract (sleeping, eating, grooming, transportation issues, looking after siblings, moving, emergencies and more) 12 hrs x 7 days = 84 hours or 4386 hours a year. Leaves maximum of 84 hours each week. Of that, you get approximately 30 school hours for 36 weeks = 1080 hours a year 1080 hrs. out of 4368 hrs. = 25% of your students waking time. You are out numbered!
