[quote=Anonymous]Regular MS classes are about 45-50 minutes, right, and block schedule classes about 75? So right now kids are getting about 225-250 minutes of math a week on regular schedules, and averaging about 190 on block schedules (150 one week and 225 the other)? They are probably planning on getting rid of block schedules everywhere, then, but even that doesn't get you to 300 minutes a week. Either they'd have to cut down to 6 periods a day (only one elective slot) to do 60 minute periods for all classes, or maybe they are thinking kids could do a double period of math once or twice a week and have an elective during that period the other 3-4 days?
