[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kid is in college now and found that the block scheduling prepared them well for the long twice a week classes.  Their friends who never had block have more of an adjustment.  The 50 minute  3x a week classes actually felt like breeze in college.[/quote]

+1. My kids loved block scheduling too. It prepared them well for college and also helped them figure out how to manage their time regarding homework and assignments. [/quote]

But it’s nothing like college. That’s a fake equivalency. College classes are not as long, you can get up and go the bathroom easily or go get a breath of fresh air, you don’t have 4 classes a day.

Who gets up to go to the bathroom or for fresh air in college outside of an actual break? Is that some new zoomer thing because most of the profs I had would've been a bit peeved with the frequent interruptions.[/quote]

Oh I went to an Ivy, and we had a lot of autonomy and they treated us like adults. Was it really different at other schools?[/quote]

+1 this was my experience too, not sure who this person is or where they went to college. [/quote]
