The high rate of successful high school graduates can be attributed to the many aspects of the structure of schools. The quality of the faculty plays a tremendous role in the success of students. Students who have outstanding teachers are also likely to take time spent in the classroom in a genuine, earnest manner. If the faculty continues their hard work, the students enjoy their classes eventually making time blocks longer. With longer time blocks, the duration of the school year could be shortened. First and foremost, the faculty, including the teaching staff, is directly associated with the rate of success a student achieves. It has been proven that the students who maintain an excellent relationship with their teachers are prone to become more involved in the classroom.
