[quote=Anonymous]My kids attend a school with a regular, 7 period day, and they are so glad that they don't need to deal with block scheduling. My older kid has ADHD, and the standard schedule in and of itself has been a good accommodation for the ADHD. They never have more than 2 exams per day, because all of the teachers and departments coordinate their tests. Like, Math and Foreign language always have Wednesdays, Science always has Thursdays, and so on. Not every class gives homework every night. They do get math homework every night, foreign language homework most nights, and reading assignments for English class when they're doing a novel. The remaining classes often will give them longer projects. AP length exams are easy. They'll do the multiple choice question part on the first day and then the free response part on the next day.
