[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The other thing that is so different in current era school is having what amounts to an entire study hall built into their schedule daily. We did not have this. My kid really uses the time and gets a lot of homework done. So I don't hate it. But it's a major shift in general philosophy.[/quote] There was a homeroom period for high schools back in the 90s but it was a short period so it wasn't really a study hall. Homeroom was phased out nationwide in the 00s if not earlier in some districts. If we go back to 45 minutes periods, we should probably revert back to the former, longer lunch periods and just eliminate this new study hall. Longer lunch periods have overall health and stress level benefits. [/quote]
