For many, it's more "chill time"

Many students aren't going to the teachers they need, or are not doing work during academy and using it as a "break"

Sometimes they just want to hang with friends instead of going where they could use help.


Rose: Really nice having two teachers paired up in an academy room to help crowd control and be there for all the students more hands on.
