when I was a kid, I used to go to a school like that...it was known as the "parent controlled school w/the Bible" First half hour was always Bible lessons/stories from the Bible...so if you were 5 minutes late, you were half an hour late, as that first half hour was not to be disturbed.....hence I have a good foundation of the whole Bible, not just the stories some kids learned at Sunday school which I never went to anyway! And of course this is quite ling time ago, as not many schools like that exist anymore...
