"it will be harder for the kids to get their homework done because there will be 7 classes of it and also there is so much infornation to get in"
"at my school we have block scheduling when we have testing going on and it is wonderful! it helps with getting homework done and individual attention!"
"my daughter sharon france likes the block scheduling. SHe can get more help with her school work because the teachers won't have as many students and can them a little bit of extra help. "
"It's stupid, they had block classes for a long time and now they want to change it when my daughter is going to be in the 11th grade. Block classes make kids have more homework and not enough time to do it in in 45 minutes. "
"I think that we should stick with 4th block!"
"I feel it would be a detriment to the students academic results to return to 8 periods per day. My sons grades have been better since having the block schedule."
"Reverting to 7 class scheduling is a step backwards. It neither properly emulates the college experience nor provides enough attention to any given subject. It only serves to cause more conflicting test dates and project due dates for already stressed"
"I love Block schedule and would hate to go back to the other. "
"I prefer the attention students can give to four classes at a time."
"My child finds it easier to have a four block schedule instead of 7 periods."
"What is the reason for changing the schedules? The block classes are working are they not? "
"I am all for change if it is for the better. This is not for the better and I am against it. "
"I had non-block scheduling at my other school before and I didn't like it. I'd rather stay the way it is now."
