[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It will result in more time wasted. We all know it takes a good chunk of the beginning of each period to get everyone settled and on task. At least with block scheduling, there’s still a large amount of time left to accomplish something.[/quote] No it won't. 90 minutes of math is just waaay too long to keep kids engaged. So much time wasted. I hate block scheduling, didn't like it back when they picked it up and went with it as the latest fad. I'm not surprised it didn't deliver. Go back to the regular class schedule now that the data isn't there to keep it. [/quote] TJ had block scheduling in the late 90s and I’m guessing it still does.[/quote] I just went to an information session and the way they explained it is that it’s a long block that integrates multiple subjects. Block scheduling makes sense for kids at TJ who probably have more stamina and focus than the average high schooler[/quote]
