It’s not a seasonal thing…All school clocks slow way down after 2:00…Sometimes they don’t move at a ll. You can count to ten slowly during the time the clock moves from one second to the next second…….
Is school still in session in Michigan? Yesterday was the last day of SUMMER school here in Tucson — regular school ended 4 weeks ago. (Though the poor kids have to go back the first week of August).
My theory is this. When you are having fun, then time flies. When you are not having fun, then time drags. So logically when you are having fun you are stealing time from someone who is having fun.
Today is the last day in our district in SoCal. Don’t try to drive past any of the high schools this afternoon, commencement always causes traffic problems.
The last minute of the hour could actually be longer. In old school clocks they all synced to each other on the hour. Clocks ran individually in the classrooms but would not switch to the hour until told to by the master clock. So if they were running fast they would sit on the last minute until the proper time.

Maybe the clock did stop, if she’s still in class and the janitor is cleaning up already.

She’s just using logic a few centuries out of date: that was how hours used to be defined…
