Second Shift

Many of our students come from families who work factory jobs or who work 2nd and 3rd shift.  What if schools ran a 2nd or 3rd shift for students?  That would allow schools to maximize the use of facilities and provide more family time for their students.  We need to look for ways to flex our thinking to allow for creative uses of time, facilities, and schedules.  This would allow families to have the time together and to provide the structure and support that help students to be successful in school.  It wouldn't be a cure-all, but it would be one step schools could take to show the community that the life outside the school walls has a definite impact on what goes on within them.  Your thoughts?
