[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]From the responses above this really seems to be a personal preference answer only. I have two DC and do not like block scheduling at all. For one, he needs the every day practice in math and language. Additionally, as noted above, if they miss a class because of an assembly, testing, illness, it can be 2-3 days before they have the class again.

[b]For 2nd DC, he is strong academically and social but is not going to sit and socialize all day and in eAch class ( introvert) He was getting all his work done (and then some) and just sitting for remainder. He hated the amount of down time. It's not like they have instruction for the entire 90 min. It seems to be more of " here's the lesson" now work on it. He was getting done in half the time and just sitting. He's now in private with no block scheduling and loves it.[/quote][/b]

That's just bad teaching! It has nothing to do with block schedule. The teacher should be able to fill the whole block with meaningful work.[/quote]
