Thanks guys! And you guys hit the nail on the head. I wanted to figure out how to do this as a courtesy to the teachers at my school asking for this because they commute and bring their children with them to school/kindergarten. Most teachers are reasonable though, the only problematic ones are those with small children and if they also work at different schools.

I managed to do it with your help so that it worked in the end. FET is a fun program, I actually enjoy the logic exercise it provides but I agree that the less constraints the better.

Definitely, there are like 3-4 people at my school who throw a tantrum if their timetable isn't neigh perfect, coincidentally these people were in charge of making the timetable before we moved onto FET. They somehow miraculously always had perfect timetables and when others complained they just shrugged it off, last year one of them had a gap and two others had to stay until 3PM. The headmaster should tell them to suck it up but he wants to stay on everyone's good side.

Hi!

I tried searching for help unfortunately I didn't find an answer.

How can we force FET to make a teacher always start from 8 AM? Students have a cool constraint called "A student set begins early", what I'm basically looking for is "A teacher begins early".

Can this be done somehow, did I miss something or is it only possible if I use "Teacher not available times" to limit and force FET to schedule the teacher to always start at 8 AM?

Thanks for the help! Great program! ;D ;D ;D
