[quote=Anonymous]Right...the complaint isn't so much about "block"--which can mean four classes per day in an A/B schedule like Wilson used to have but rather the specific form of the block where most (if not all) classes are only one semester so kids go long periods of time without math/languages and courses are accelerated so when kids get behind they can't catch up easily.
Based on the language of the email, it does sound like most classes will remain semester based but APs will go back to being year long.

The question is what "guidelines" DCPS has put in place and how much flexibility Wilson has....that is a big unanswered question that needs to be explained to parents before any schedule is decided on.  If Wilson has the flexibility to go back to the prior A/B schedule where almost all classes were year long and Bargeman has opted not to do that, THAT is unacceptable.  If, however, DCPS has said that high schools have "flexibility" but have put so many guidelines in place that there really isn't any flexibility, that's another story.

It seems like the next step is to understand what these guidelines are from DCPS....[/quote]
