[quote=Anonymous]Is it true that DCPS is insisting that Wilson adopt a 4x4 block schedule next year?  Even if the other comprehensive high schools in DCPS use this model, Wilson has so many unique scheduling challenges (twice as many students, many different AP courses and electives to program), it seems like a potential disaster.  Students currently take 8 classes over 2 days (alternating even/odd days), but with the new schedule they would take 8 classes a year, but only four classes per semester.  These classes would meet every day for 90 minutes.  Students could earn 1 credit in 1 semester.  Imagine taking an AP class in the fall and not taking the exam until May -- not to mention what it will do to Art, Music, and World Languages sequence of study.  Parents, please inform yourselves about this model as well as proposed changes to graduation requirements.  Some of what we hear is alarming -- I would love to know what's being shared through SCAC or other groups that have heard what's happening.[/quote]
