[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why does it matter to you? What is so hard about teaching block? Why does there have to be a seven period schedule? [/quote] It’s not “so hard”. It’s just not what is best for students. Block means only two instructional opportunities a week. Seven periods a day means 5 instructional opportunities. It is just better for students to have more chances to engage with their teachers.[/quote] Actually more periods every day are distracting and students are continually transitioning between classes and subjects, which makes them lose a lot of focus time on their work. Each period is shorter, and again, there is no time for deeper reflection. [/quote]
