[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kids (11th/10th) HATE block scheduling. They both say that the teachers only teach for about 20-25 mins and then the rest of the class is for doing work but most kids don't actually do work, they just mess around on their phones or talk. My 11th grader feels that 1/2 of his day is wasted because he finds the classwork to be easy and will finish quickly but he still has to sit in his seat and bide his time until the next class. And still - the number of kids who don't turn in homework or classwork is unbelievably high. So... how is this better academically??[/quote] Please forward your comment to your school principal, your school board member, the regional superintendent and the superintendent, everyone. At least after your younger DC has graduated, if not now. Let the administrators know how their preferred schedule is bad for students and for learning. [/quote]
