The schools of Madison county perpetually face repetitive cases of grave indiscipline. Experience indicates that prolonged periods of detention is the most effective way to curbing indiscipline. However, lately, the parents of the schoolchildren have formed an association and have threatened to withdraw their wards from the schools if their wards are meted out long detention periods. Therefore, these schools have decided that the best way to curb such cases of indiscipline is to levy significantly heavy fines.
Which of the following is an assumption on which the schools’ decision depends?
A. Instilling discipline in students is one of the primary objectives of an educational institution.
B. A system of assigning additional homework to students will not deter most repeat offenders from committing acts that amount to insubordination in the eyes of school authorities.
C. Most parents of students who are repeat offenders are motivated to tackle the indiscipline issues at home.
D. The school administration has tried numerous means of addressing the grave disciplinary issues over the past few years.
E. Many schools in the neighboring counties have tried the system of fining their students for indiscipline and found it greatly effective.

Hi! D is stated as a fact - "The schools of Madison county perpetually face repetitive cases of grave indiscipline. Experience indicates that prolonged periods of detention is the most effective way to curbing indiscipline. " "Experience indicates... is the most effective..." here indicates that they have been dealing with the repetitive cases through various means with detention being the most effective. However, as of late, the parents have been against this.
