[quote=Anonymous]Replying to the STA/NCS threads posters. There's a different schedule this year. In a 7-day period (it's a block schedule rotating on 7 days), a student who is taking 5 classes has 25 total class meetings and 5 free periods (of 65 minutes each). That averages out to about 3.55 classes per night. The student will have a free period 5 out of every 7 days that is 65 minutes long. The student will have 200 minutes of additional free time if they aren't in orchestra/chorus, as their are dedicated class periods for music that are free periods for other students. So they're not prepping for five classes a night. Generally it's four and sometimes it's three. And god bless the STA handbook, but the typical STA student does not do anything like an average of one hour per homework per class per night. If this worries you, talk to a range of families.[/quote]
