[quote=Anonymous][quote]And generally language and math teachers oppose block scheduling. [/quote] Teacher here. This is my experience as well. If a kid is absent it's even worse because the kid can go six days without seeing his/her teacher/class. For example, if a kid is absent on a Thursday, he misses his Spanish/Geometry class. He will not go to Spanish/Geometry until the next Monday. The last time he was in class was the previous Tuesday. These are classes where practice and reinforcement are essential. All the people saying that this will help the kid get organized, well, that's a nice thought. But if a kid has organizational issues (and the parents are not able to help the kid), you have just given him academic ones as well. Are you willing to let his academics go by the wayside as you wait for him to mature and become better at organizing? Just something to ponder. [/quote]
