managing a chess school who would you do it ???

Ok heres the deal for 6hours a day 5days a week you have to manage a actual chess School with 5 classes for 10 players rated U1700

1hour+15min of opening class

1hour+15min of tactics class

1hour+15min of positionl concept class

1hour+15min of endgame class

1hour of game reviewing of the students colleges

each student has their own personal coach non are masters but have decent ratings but the personal coaches help at home so there NOT one of the instructers. You have 18 software options (3 for each class rotating each day) mostly tactical trainning software.

There are 32 Instructors working for you consisting of 3 amatures (1900,1700,1350) for the students under 1000 also consisting of 4 CM(experts) 3 RM(2100-2199) 9 NM 1 FM 1 SM 6 IM 5 GM all specialising in teaching either openings,endgames,tactics etc... and if we have extra time somedays the students have a library sectioned of by each students name and in the sections are chess books recommended by the instructors for the students to read. How would you manage all the chess mess to work effieciently ??

O I forgot to mention each student has  5 notebooks one for each class to take notes follow lessons etc...

Nah Nah Nah no... That's way too much time each week.  Chess is supposed to be a civilized gentleman's game.  I'm thinking 4 days a week... The schedule would be like:

Start at 10:00 am, have a little coffee/espresso between 10:00 and 10:30, shoot the bull, get settled in..

10:30-11:00 stretches and calisthetics...physical fitness is a serious part of competitive chess.  Bobby Fischer was a big believer in this.

11:00-12:00 Tactics

12:00-2:00 Lunch, maybe get a long table in the back of an Italian restuarant, hang out and shoot the breeze about chess and life

2:00-3:00 Positional/strategy/Silmanesque "imbalance" class, good idea.

3:00-3:30, a break, coffee, more social stuff

3:30-4:30 Alternating openings/endgame class (study openings one day, endgame the next)

4:30-5:00 More physical training, maybe a brisk walk as a team, answer questions the students had of the day's training

5:00-7:00 Team dinner/drinks/social time.  The instructors will eat with the group and also answer any questions, also this is a good time to stress the psychological and sporting aspects of comptetitive chess.

7:00-?  The formal study time breaks and the students can go their separate ways if they want, but the instructors and the students that want to will then "bounce," hit the bars, clubs, strip clubs for the rest of the night for bonding and more conversation. 

Then call it a night, and do it all over again the next day.

Sounds more like a workable pace, dont you think?

I agree with the lunch break and exercise before school starts but everything else seems like more time is given to jsut Socializing and not to much study at all!

by the way we start at 9am and end at 4pm monday-friday.

Yeah but the more time you spend in "class" is less time the students have to let the lessons sink in.  If you look at my proposed schedule, its still 3 hours a day of "hard" classrom time.  And during the lunch/dinner/after hours club time the team will mostly be talking about chess and what they are learning in the classes.  I mean, too much sitting around in a classroom is never a good thing. 

Oh, and I just realized this but you see both of us forgot to include any time for actually playing chess.  I figure maybe the crew could meet at a clubhouse/social club on either saturday or sunday afternoons and actually play chess and practice what they learned.  And yes, drinks WILL be served.

It's been scientifically quantified and accepted that REM sleep is essential to proper learning.  Any serious chess school would have to include an afternoon nap time.

This looks like the adult version of "help me with my homework".

REM is out of Athens, Georgia.  Go, Michael Stipe! But I don't see how anyone is going to sleep through them.

Yes, I would either teach at (have a lot to learn first) or administrate a chess school. I would prefer being a private teacher (1 on 1) and a player, as opposed to a school teacher though.

Is there going to be a certain subtle level of gay sexual tension running through the school, like there was in Hogwarts?

Actually, that seems like an awful lot of directed chess thinking per day.  I didn't see anything about actually playing.  Studying is OK, and I suppose some people enjoy it more than playing, but for me, without playing, everything else is just work. 

On weekends the students are driven to tournaments if they want to go and plus they can always play when they go home!

"1hour of game reviewing of the students colleges"

I don't understand this one at all.

I'm assuming this is a hypothetical school.  I don't know of any chess-specific schools, though the University of Texas at Dallas does have a chess program. But doesn't any field of study incorporate other disciplines?  I'm wondering about burn out.
