[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Block scheduling is terrible. Kids these days don't have an attention span longer than 10 minutes let alone 80 minute periods. 45 minute shorter classes daily is much better.[/quote] Completely agree. Plus from the Loiderman poster, it sounds like block scheduling means they do all their work in class and have no homework. I’d rather have my kid get instruction each day and be expected to do homework on her own. That is how it is in my school and it works well. [/quote] Loiederman PP here. I think some of DC's friends do bring work home or make progress on projects or reading outside of class. DC gets everything done at school, which is fine with us. It lets them lean into extracurriculars that they take very seriously and makes for a less frenetic family life at home. HS homework will hit soon enough, so I'm glad to have these MS years downgraded on the stress levels.[/quote]
