[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Pros: 1. It allows more flexibility for homework. If you have a busy schedule one night, you can do the homework the next night. 2. The kids can take more classes. This allows them more opportunities to take electives. Cons: The kids can take more classes. This means a heavier workload - more homework, more stress.[/quote] How are they taking more classes? Ours had block scheduling and had the same number of classes they would have had whether it was block or traditional. But to answer OP's question, ours had block from 7-12th grade and much preferred it to having the same classes each day. It helped them develop organizational and time management skills that worked for them.[/quote]
