[quote=Anonymous]My DC is also at SJC and loves the block schedule! Like other parents said, longer classes mean more time for instruction on a deeper level. Open periods during the school day allow more kids to participate in clubs (which will be starting soon!), practice their instruments, work on art projects, practice Cadet drills, check in with teachers or academic help centers, do homework, study, or even lift weights or run to get exercise. Once clubs kick off and the heavier homework kicks in, no student should claim that they have nothing to do during free period unless that is what they choose.

We find the new Principal to be very personable and open about why the school decided to implement certain changes. He is receptive to feedback but also encourages families to give the new block schedule a chance before totally dismissing it. There will be an adjustment period for some students, but hopefully everything will fall into place once the back-to-school transition period fades away. [/quote]
