[quote=Anonymous]I have an ADHD kid in a FCPS MS that switched from traditional to block this year (between 7th and 8th for D.C.). I was concerned that we would have issues with D.C. not having the same routine everyday, but she loves it, and we have not seen a drop in grades. In fact, she now gripes every Monday morning that it is anchor day, and she has to drag all of her books plus instrument to school. Plus she says it is the most stressful exhausting day of the week, because she just gets settled in, and is switching classes over and over. I can see a downside if DD was taking a language. Besides that, we see only positives. Even math has not been a problem. Block works well for HS aged D.C., too. It allows him to generally have a couple days heads up on homework assignments, and do the assignments in bigger chunks, with more control over timing. He also prefers it to the traditional MS schedule. [/quote]
