[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]All FCPS schools have a mandatory study hall? That sounds great.[/quote]

In theory.  It’s called advisory and they do a lesson and then have the rest of the time to work or see teachers for help.  I have one kid who uses this time wisely.  I have another who is like the majority of students, who despite constant nagging by parents and teachers, uses it as social hour.  He still rarely has homework.

I’m also a teacher and not much is being assigned, compared to even ten years ago.  [/quote]

It’s annoying that they waste the kids’ time with this bogus lesson. My kid doesn’t have the full 90 minutes to work. He’s a slow worker so has a lot to do on a daily basis.[/quote]

In Loudoun where we are, they do get the full 90 minutes in HS. They had MS advisory but it was separate from study hall, which is a half block in 6/7 and the 90 minutes in 8th. We are at one of the poorer schools and all of the focus is on getting the poor kids to turn in assignments at school or just attend school at all. If you do your work and come to school everyday, you are invisible.[/quote]
