[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Every day is a much better way for anyone and everyone to learn. Every other day is not. Math classes, music classes, foreign language classes know this and explicitly prefer traditional period scheduling. English classes and science classes want longer classes for labs - but those don't happen every class. Block scheduling is one of the several reasons for the decline of education and resulting lowered test scores of the past 10-15 years. Why do educators choose methods that reduce learning and education? [/quote] I’m 53 and I had block scheduling beginning in middle school (1980s), so it is likely not why test scores are allegedly low — give me a break. It prepares students for college, and gives them a day to work on their homework/reach out to their teacher. My current middle schooler likes it.[/quote]
