How far off policy can a course get?
Why, not to gather up the students at all! Just let them be all over the place and no classroom.
When you try to find the Why of some situations that won't resolve, remember the outness is usually so huge that it isn't easily imagined.
Like: I wonder why Division 6 in that org doesn't function. So you order checksheets and projects and almost everything else you can think of with no improvement. And then you find out there is not a single person in the division!
Like: A big org was having income and delivery trouble a couple years back and after all sorts of work on it, it was found there was only I person in the whole Tech Division! But 89 on staff!
The outnesses that won't resolve are usually big ones and are omissions. And not being there they aren't seen as there's nothing to see.
