So it was that teachers daily bent their brain cells in attempts to create something from nothing. Most of the time it did not work. That’s why the police cruisers drove up to the school several times a week. When desks flew across rooms, doors were punched through and teachers were told to go to hell, there were occasions when the cops had to be called in.
Yet this was the REAL School. There was no other school quite like it. We were the example for other schools to follow. The director reminded us that we were a model showcase.

I don't get it. Why didn't the teachers do just that? I'm not a professional educator, but I've taught lots of skills and knowledge to my own kids and lots of others. Whenever I'm around E-1 > E-3 (and sometimes O-1s), or around a civilian kid younger than 18... "It's always time for learning".

Basline materials? WTF are those? I suppose "reading", "writing", and "arithmetic" were a bit to obvious?

You go with what you got.
