[quote=Anonymous]When the block schedule is implemented poorly—eg teachers routinely teaching for half the time and then having kids do HW for the balance of class—it’s a waste. But done right (and we saw this at our DC’s private) it’s great. Sure there were days when teachers let kids do some work at the end of class when they finished class work early but typically it looked something like lecture + in class writing with peer critiques/lab work/projects/discussions. Not having HW every night for every class was more similar to what DC would experience in college and it allowed them to balance academics with ECs and learn time management. [/quote]
