Students ... attend one-on-one meetings with advisers to set personal goals.

How many students? How many advisers? How much minutes per one? What are the remaining students doing?

Teachers cover all the essentials, from developing main ideas to composing blog posts.

This is the only hour in a day where students [EDIT] learn [/EDIT] something other than math or reading. Nice to know that if you compress all the remaining subjects into one hour daily, there is enough time left for composing blog posts.

I suspect this will go like most of the educational suggestions:

  • an article full of applause lights
  • social media hype
  • ...no, there is no step 3; specifically you will never see the experimental results

Do you consider mindfulness practice math or reading?

The article isn't about a suggestion but a real world experiment.

There no suggestion that subjects get compressed into one hour daily. It a shedule of a single day without a suggestion that every day is the same.

One assumes that during the 'reading' section one could be reading nonfiction material on the other subjects.
