[quote=Anonymous][twitter][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Everything HB has isn’t automatically better.

They have this schedule to make it possible for them to have the latest start time and still allow high school kids to participate in sports at their home school.  That’s it.  Otherwise they can’t make the buses work.

Block periods - like most things - have pros and cons.  Some subjects and topics really do benefit from a longer period.  Major advantage for your student is they don’t get homework in all the subjects due the next day.  Yes sometimes I’m sure 90 minutes is also too long.[/quote]

Not getting homework should not be considered an advantage, that’s a sign of the decline in rigor in APS[/quote]

Do any of you people actually have kids in high school?  This has to be trolls.  Once you have a high school kid taking 4-5 APs block scheduling makes a lot of sense and they will still have plenty of homework.

No, it’s like the APE nut jobs who were screaming about opening schools back when they had preschoolers.

It's probably the same APE nutjobs. They think some other kids have some advantage that their kids don't but they don't have full information so they have no idea. But they complain about it anyways. And push and push to hoard resources for their own. [/quote]

I don’t care about being an hbw, I just want the better schedules that they seem to be the only ones to get. It’s clear they had the advantage, it’s documented in the student handbook.[/quote]
