section with start and end date?

 

Hello. To be brief I am working on a configuration for training facility
with high emphasiz on roster and very dynamic courses. The dynamics lies
in the fact the sections does not share start and end date, neither are
students assessed concurrently. (Yes, the teachers even managed this
discursive working style.) In fact a new section is established every
time when there is a new class of student. Consider each class only have
less than 6 student, classes are created highly dynamically.

If I got it right, in School tool the section start and end date align
with courses which in turn align with terms. I can think of a few
approaches:

   1. Create multiple terms to hold such sections. This is a dead-end
      because terms cannot overlap.
   2. Ignore the problem. Manually keep a separate note of sector start
      / end date, only maintain roster on sectors' schooldays.
   3. Modify section to allow it contain start / end date, to be added
      to potential coding level customization list to be collected
      together for review later.


What would you recommend?

Thanks a lot in advance!
