[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How big are MS core classes (math, science, English, social studies) in block schedule schools vs 45min class schools? Do teachers really get to know your kids? I felt like in ES my kid was basically a number and it’s just getting worse.[/quote] Class sizes really depends on the school. I’ve taught core courses in all of the following: A/B day Block scheduling 8 pds Rotating block scheduling 7 pds (the work of Satan) 45 min 7 pd 45 min 8 pd The biggest classes (42+) were in the 45 min 7 pd school. W feeder MS. The smallest were in the rotating block 7 pd (Curses upon it for 13 generations). Roughly 50% FARMS. [/quote] Aww the rotating period schedule. I had a non lock rotating period schedule in HS. Hated it at first but learned to love it. It really was nice for planning out HW and studying and not have the worst teacher at the same time everyday.[/quote]
