The complexity of constrains for each student or teacher is much greater with our software than with aSc. The scripting language is much more complex and enables you to describe pretty much every whim one might have. Like a different speed, teachers have between two different locations or after how many classes a break is mandatory for a specified teacher ... and many more.
It's student oriented primary and every student can have a very different curriculum then everybody else.
Still, all this will be automatically calculated and then optimized.
Now, we want to see how it will behave in practice for North America and Australia.
Sounds great! I hope you don't expect average teachers to write the scripts though.
Not an average, no. But at every other school, there is at least one teacher who is able to do it (for the entire school, of course) . Some like to work in pairs when scripting it.
I thought, I might find some among readers and contributors here as well. Looking for people with this (hard) problem.
