As to counting breaks I was told we could as most of the students during break are talking CHL between themselves or asking instructors questions so time should count.
I believe what your are seeing is and attempt to draw people into the 10 hr. classes through reduced fees. Most of the potential students out there are aware of the reduction in hours and are expecting 4 hour classes, total. We know that is wrong...but the misinformation spread by the news media is fueling the perception.
I have cancelled all of my classes for the rest of the summer and will start with the new format in September. My charge for the class will remain the same, but like TBM, I will be offering more basic handgun classes to make up for the loss of renewals.
