[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]TPMS non magnet students get double the math of regular MS kids? They have math 5 days a week and each one of those sessions is a double block?[/quote]

Yes.[/quote]

Actually, I have no idea what kids at other middle schools get. But yes, the non magnet students at TPMS get double the math instruction that magnet kids. There are 8 classes and for non  magnet kids, two of them are math. For magnet kids one is math and one is computer science. It’s amazing to me that this is such a difficult concept to grasp. I explained it clearly the first time but it’s as if some of you just don’t want to believe it and want to insist it must be some mistake of the A/B split schedule.[/quote]

I'm an NP who asked that question. I got confused by the back and forth. Thank you for clarifying.
A lot of us are in different middle schools and it seems shocking that a school in the same school district offers double the amount of math instruction for their REGULAR curriculum. We all understand that the magnet is special.

Some schools on a block schedule with 7 classes with have one class meet every day and then the 3 other classes will meet every other day.  The 3 classes are double periods, the 1 class is a single period.  It all works out to the same time in class per period.
I didn’t realize that was the case. I thought all schools had two periods of math. What about schools that have period 1 on both odd and even days? Why do they have period 1 five times a week? [/quote][/quote]
