[quote=Anonymous]The county requires some sort of remediation time built into the school day. It is up to each individual school to implement that as they see fit. Most schools have gone to 8 periods on an odd/even schedule, where one of the periods is remediation. If this is going away at your school, it is your SCHOOL'S decision--not the county. Where I teach, the block is divided--half silent reading, half homework time. Students can't go see other teachers unless they have signed up and received a pass in advance. Once a month we do lessons on growth mindset, stress relief, mental health, etc. They still have plenty of time to get work done (and in my 10 years' experience, I'd say only 1/4 of the kids actually use the time to do work. Most are goofing off with friends if I don't intervene and separate them constantly).[/quote]
