[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's a disaster. This used to be the period to go get help in whatever class they needed it or do make-up tests. Now it's all structured and confusing and an absolute waste of time. Marshall HS, btw.[/quote]

I'm the parent of a freshmen at Marshall so I don't have an opinion on what it was like before, but they rotate daily between Advisory, Return, and LEARN, and the last two are exactly what you are talking about - so 2/3 of the time can be used for academics.  [/quote]

It used to be an open period EVERY day for them to go to whatever class they needed to (and they had the choice of class) for catch-up, make-up tests and remediation. It was a wonderful gift of time and flexibility, particularly for upperclassmen with heavy course loads. [/quote]

I know.  Someone decided it was important to manage and regulate every minute of their time, so now school feels a little bit more like a prison.  I hate it, not just for me but for them.  I would like for them to at least give the upperclassmen more flexibility and mobility.  [/quote]
