[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Several PPs mentioned the block schedule and the (positive) impact on per night homework load. That makes a ton of sense. Anyone care to make a list for DC area privates that have the block scheduling?[/quote] And, besides homework load management, block schedules have other benefits. They reduce the monotony of a static daily schedule. They allow for some longer class periods to dive deeper into topics or allow time when homework becomes schoolwork. And block scheduling means that for example, a student who might otherwise be struggling in an already difficult class because it's first thing in the morning when they're tired, or right before lunch when they are hungry, or at the end of the day when they're burned out, will experience that class at variable times of the day as the block schedule turns over across the course of a few weeks.[/quote]
