[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It is not DCC middle schools that run an 8 period schedule, it is the middle school magnet consortium (Parkland, Argyle, Loiederman). And no, teachers there do not teach 1 class every other day - on a 5 of 8 schedule, they teach 3 blocks one day and 2 blocks the next. TPMS could have gone to a 5 of 8 schedule but significant class size increases would have been the trade-off. Any parent who thinks 4-6 more students in every one of their child's classes would not impact the quality of instruction has clearly not spent time in a middle school. [/quote] Wait, are you saying that in addition to 3 electives and the other benefits of the magnet, those classes are also smaller, at least 4-6 students below the middle school class size recommendations?
