[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]From a few years ago, I would have loved to know school was switching from a block schedule to a schedule with 7 periods a day. We were told this was because teachers thought it would mean more work done in class and less homework. It just meant no control over the timing of homework/our evening schedule. They did it for the convenience of sharing teachers across MS and HS for foreign language. No other comparable high schools do this. [/quote]

Opposite. Ours switched to a block after reenrollment had already happened. My DD has early release 2 days/week which was negotiated as part of admissions. Going to the block schedule and having zero control over which classes landed in those afternoon blocks imploded her school schedule and activity schedule (live outside dmv, she trains with a club and is on the junior national team for her sport). This happened going into sophomore year and we were really stuck. Others felt that they had also been blindsided by the block schedule and would have chosen other schools had they known the school had been planning it for 18 months.[/quote]
