[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Love our block schedule at Loiederman.  Plenty of time to get things done without rushing, or to rehearse properly, or to redo math work until it is done right.  Plenty of time to catch up on assigned reading and finish homework so it doesn't have to come home. No daily rush through so many different things. The teachers break up the class periods into different kinds of activities so there is no concentration challenge.  My ADHD kid is thriving, and I'm now a believer in this kind of scheduling.

Very glad to hear this feedback as a new family at LMS this fall! [/quote]

Not guaranteed to continue beyond this year. That’s the point of this whole thread. With the program analysis changing all schools in the 2027-28 school year, the block schedule will likely disappear. How else will MCPS justify the extra staff?[/quote]

The block schedule is not just a magnet schools.  There are schools with 7 classes that have a block schedule.[/quote]

I have a friend in another state whose HS does true block schedules for the year around 8 class.  4 classes 1st Semester and 4 classes 2nd semester.[/quote]

It is horrible for students taking AP.[/quote]
