[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If they're going to keep the "no new material" rule, then the LEAST they could do is let us alter our schedules to make those O days 7 period days instead of block days.  Then we all see our kids for 45 minutes a class and can do work within the guidelines rather than killing 80 minutes with one group of kids while our other students on the other block day will get the lesson.

Here's an example of what it looks like now:

Monday - even
Tuesday (religious) - odd
Wednesday - even
Thursday - odd
Friday - even

In this situation, we see our even day kids 3 times and can teach content.  The odd day kids we see twice but can only teach content on one of those days.

Here's an example of how to balance that issue:

Monday - even
Tuesday (religious) - 7 period day
Wednesday - odd
Thursday - even
Friday - odd

In this situation, you're seeing both your odd and even classes twice and on the non teaching religious day, you use that shortened class period to do whatever fits in FCPS' ridiculously restrictive guidelines.[/quote]

This is an excellent idea!!!!!!  Please pass it on to the board.  [/quote]

Are there any high schools that have 7 period days?  How does lunch work?  As a teacher this idea is so much better, but we have 5 lunches at my school.[/quote]
