This bar (which is established very low) is a bar that many students will use as their maximum code of behavior.
Consider a primary school child informed to check out 15 minutes a day. The ones who need it the most will start getting impatient ten minutes into their reading session. By the time they get to fourteen and fifty percent mins, they’re already starting to shut guide. To get them to review for fifteen mins, the bench has to be set higher.
