Nope, try again.

American Indian's administrators believe that one of the secrets to success in middle school is having one instructor teach all subjects except physical education. The goal is to have that teacher stay with the same children all three years -- a policy that seems to be more theory than reality, given high teacher turnover
...
The idea is that students will form a deep bond with the teacher and gain class time by having no passing periods.

I disagree w\ the bold bit.  Students need more than one psycho's indoctrination.  They need several psychos.

At 2:10, the students have P.E. -- running and calisthenics. No games.

Fucking horrible idea.

A framed poster in a hallway quotes Chavis: "You do outstanding things here and you'll be treated outstanding. You act like a fool and you'll be treated like one."

That concept isn't dead at American Indian, but it has been toned down.

Amen.
