[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kid is in college now and found that the block scheduling prepared them well for the long twice a week classes.  Their friends who never had block have more of an adjustment.  The 50 minute  3x a week classes actually felt like breeze in college.[/quote]

+1. My kids loved block scheduling too. It prepared them well for college and also helped them figure out how to manage their time regarding homework and assignments. [/quote]

But it’s nothing like college. That’s a fake equivalency. College classes are not as long, you can get up and go the bathroom easily or go get a breath of fresh air, you don’t have 4 classes a day.

College kids who came from block schedule schools have an easier time with college schedules.  I've seen it play out more than once. And, there are definitely 90 minutes classes and some kids are in class all day.[/quote]

How can you even make the comparison? I don’t think my kids know what schedule their classmates had in high school?

Sure they may have two full days a week, but it’s not 5 days of 90 minute blocks.
