[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This would be absolutely impossible to police unless they made Monday = math test, Tuesday = science test, wednesday = elective tests, etc.  With block, that would be a disaster.

Some kids are taking 2 sciences or two maths, some are in algebra, others geometry, others algebra 2 their freshman year.  There is zero way to coordinate.[/quote]

My son’s private school has a 6 day schedule. Day 1 is a lecture day and that’s when tests occur. Each subject area has lectures on different days so math might be day 1, English is day 2 and so on. Because of this, he rarely has more than one test a day. [/quote]

So if I finish teaching my unit on Monday but my subject’s test day isn’t until Friday I…put in 3 days of fluff? Begin the next unit and just tell kids to keep current on old material? That seems exceedingly arbitrary. It’s not that big of a deal to take two exams in one day.[/quote]

No, you actually plan out the entire unit. You might finish a day or two early and then review but most teachers don't just teach and hope things work out. Each unit is planned out and I'd better be on the lesson on the day I'm supposed to or hell will break loose.[/quote]
