[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] Curriculum is the same. 7 period schools schedule work in class too, and homework is for kids who don't finish, and review for exams [/quote]
