This Series: [ CalcPrim.html ][ CalcPrim03.html ][ CalcPrim04.html ] is motivated by this quote:
Charles F. Potter, an American humanist and Unitarian minister: "Education is a most powerful ally of humanism, and every American school is a school of humanism. What can the theistic Sunday Schools, meeting for an hour, once a week, and teaching only a fraction of the children, do to stem the tide of a five-day program of humanistic teaching?" from "Humanism, America's New Religion", 1930

The previous calculation: [] 1. Calculation of Primary Influencers (2001) []^1.eliminated the church as a primary influencer and discipler ^2., based on the amount of time the child is under its influence. The previous calculation for public school children, ages 0-18, gave these results:
1. The parent: Effective Parent Child Hrs ("unstructured") = 84% ofTotal Child Hours.
2. The school: School Child Hours ( " structured " ) = 16% of Total Child Hours.
However the parents' large advantage from birth to 1st grade is diminished by the time they reach high school where the student gains a share of self autonomy or self 'authority'. So what are the 'authorities' of the student in high school prior to graduation based on the time invested? This 2nd calculation gives the parents 4 hours of "face to face" time every day with their high school child.

2003 AD - High School (HS) Years
Category	Hrs./Day	Days / Year	Years	Total HS Hrs.	Percentage, %
Total Awake Hrs.	16 "awake"	364	4	23,296	100%

High School Hrs. (9-4pm)	7	180	4	5,040	21.6%
Student Hrs. a. 5-10pm, study/sport/wk. b. Non School; self guided	5 7	.364 364-180=184	.4 4	.7,280 5,152-*208*=4,944	52.5%
c.Church Hrs.; self guided Unstructured Parent Hrs.	*(1 hr /week)* 4	*52 hr/yr* 364	4 4	*208 = 0.9%* 5,824 = 25%	25.9% ^3.

The Hrs./Day column is added upwards as either a school day (4+5+7=16) or a non school day (4+7+5=16 hrs.)

Because of the startling results of the next calculation in this series, which uses a more realistic "2 Hrs. face to face" time period for parent and child interaction per day, this analysis was shortened and attention is directed to the next in the series, i.e. "3rd" Calculation".
