<p>How does your school do it?</p>
<p>Mine currently has block, but next year we might have a weird block/standard combo. Core classes would be 40 minutes for 2 semesters, but electives would be 80 minutes for 1 semester.</p>
<p>My school calls them “blocks” but it’s really a regular schedule.</p>
<p>Though I know what blocks are and I think they overly complicate things and are therefore stupid.</p>
<p>Block, but APs are all year-long. Dual-enrollment is semester. For a while, freshmen had “academies”, where we we<code>d have two classes (90 minutes) and then have a set of three classes (Science, English, and history) where we</code>d have the same kids in each, and have 55 minute classes, year-long. Supposed to help freshmen adjust. Last year was the last year they did it. I don`t like 90 minute classes.</p>
<p>We switched to a four by four block schedule last year. This year, it’s a combination where certain classes are fourbyfour and others are A-B. It gets rather annoying.</p>
<p>We have 86 minute blocks. I like it since it makes the day seem to go by faster.</p>
<p>1 hour classes for whole year</p>
<p>Our school calls it a “block” system, but I think it’s different from most block schedules. We have the same 6 classes for the entire year (some people have a 7th class for the whole year too), but each day, we only go to 3 classes for 100 minutes each. So like, Monday it would be 1st period, 3rd period, and 5th period, and then Tuesday would be 2nd, 4th, and 6th. And each day would just alternate schedules. And 7th period meets every day for an hour.
It’s fun.</p>
<p>We have 7 courses, and we meet with 6 of those 7 classes everyday (one rotates out each day) and for 5 of those 6 courses, we meet for 53 minutes, but for one, the “long block”, we meet for 90 minutes - so we have each class for ninety minutes, once every 7 days. It’s alright I guess.</p>
<p>We have block scheduling. Four blocks/four classes a day and they’re each 90 minutes long.</p>
<p>We have block scheduling. The classes are 90 mins every other day. We have 4 classes everyday. (1, 3, 5, and 7, or 2, 4, 5, and 6) Period 5 is only 45 minutes but is everyday. I like it because it gives me 2 days to do every homework assignment.</p>
<p>We have block. I think it’s awesome. We only have four classes and we switch halfway through the year.</p>
<p>Wow, I had no idea block scheduling was so popular (the one where you switch halfway through the year). Is it a northern thing? Or maybe a private school thing?</p>
<p>I have never even in my life heard of block scheduling until I saw it on CC, and nobody I know have even heard about it either.</p>
<p>I live in FL, so it’s not a northern thing.</p>
<p>I go to a rural public school in the Appalachian part of Ohio, but it is in the north.</p>
<p>I have eleven forty-minute periods every day. All classes are year-long, unless the teacher gets tired of teaching it and sends in a pinch-hitter (no joke, this happened to me last year).</p>
