[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Okay so we aren’t the only ones who hate it — why are we still using it??[/quote] Huh? Because parents are not in charge.[/quote] Who is “we”? 9 pages of about 10 posters on a random message board? Block scheduling is the norm in HS throughout the country. Has been for two decades +. You could literally do some simple math to even see one tiny way how it’s better : passing periods are 5 minutes. Switching to 4 classes a day = 20 non-instructional minutes . Do it for all 8 = 40 non instructional minutes, per day. And before you say something idiotic about “cut it down to 2 minutes” when these kids have to get across huge schools with packed halls and maybe try to use the restroom or fill their water bottle in that time too, no.
