[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No one commented on it, so i’ll bring it up again…could a block schedule had a positive impact on kids sleep schedules by reducing the amount of homework each night? 
My oldest is a freshman this year and taking a couple honors classes in addition to some extra curriculars a couple days a week. Right now they are getting enough sleep (10/10:30-6ish with an after school nap on the no extra curricular days) but I know things may ramp up in later years. 
Block scheduling seems like a more viable option than changing start times. Is it worth discussing?[/quote]

I don’t any school that doesn’t already have block scheduling.  That’s probably why no one commented.

No one commented on my post either.  A late arrival helped a lot for us.  Don’t take a first block class.  It’s easy to change schedules around with virtual options now, at least when they get a little older.  Take easier classes if so many AP courses are causing 4-5 hours of homework.  My kids won’t do that and don’t care about getting into the “most selective” colleges.  They are well adjusted, rested and happy.  [/quote]
