Simply compute the standard deviation and multiply by 3 and add to the average:

Simply compute the standard deviation and multiply by 3 and subtract from the average:

It's a system that causes this pattern to repeat.

THIS chart shows what the follow-the-schedule method wants.

NOT what school board members want.

NOT what superintendents want.

But that's not what it "wants"...and it's not a coincidence this pattern repeats (repeatedly).
