[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why does block schedule exist? Is that due to limited funding , limited school space, teacher needs more time to do grading or shortage of teachers? My kid will be confused with block schedule. It is easier to remember what date/time for going to/leaving school. [/quote] Kids with block schedules go to school at the same time, and come home at the same time. It just means that instead of having 40 minutes of every class every day, you have 80 minutes of half your classes today and the other half tomorrow. There are variations, like Wheaton where you have some days with all the classes, and like the 4 by 4 where you take half of them this semester and half next, but basically, the only difference is that your classes are longer and less often.
