Well said ! especially the studies/ testimonies reference and last
comment. I really don't believe flexible scheduling (elem) matters one

knowing how many elementary SLMS with flexible scheduling are on thin ice
to lose their jobs or have already been informed of it. If there is one then
there "IT" is !
