[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think the middle schools have an anchor day and the high schools don't. I think it works better without the anchor day. That way teachers and kids get used to the longer block schedules. I see pros and cons of switching back to 45 min classes, but I think the once a week anchor day was pretty much the worst since there were so few of them so no one was used to it. Also it is pretty rich to see school board members worried about the lack of routine with block schedules when they have constructed a school year with about a million random days off.[/quote]DHMS has mostly gotten rid of anchor days this year. I think there have only been three, and one was the first day of school. We were told both teachers and students didn't like anchor days, so they were being minimized.[/quote] This is not DHMS specific. We’ve had almost no anchor days, because we had barely any 5-day-weeks of school. [/quote]
