[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, addressing just the fact that homework takes her forever -- did her middle school use a block schedule or did she have every class, every day in MS? A few MSes use block schedules in FCPS. High schools use it and it's great because a kid who is decent at planning ahead and scheduling work a bit can use the block schedule to advantage. Example -- A Monday-Wed-Friday class assigns homework Mon. but it's not due until Wed., for instance, so a good student can learn to gauge what the homework is, how long it should take, what its' weight is, etc. and plan accordingly re: when and how to do it. Advise your daughter to pay attention to the block schedule and she can make it work to help her. My kid says she thinks it really does make planning out her workload much easier.[/quote] Middle school was NOT block but HS is. I'm hoping it will be easier, as you say. This is good news![/quote]
