<p>Don'tcha just love it? I think if I had to go to all my classes every day I would be so crazy stressed out.</p>
<p>Block schedule=<333333333333333333333333333</p>
<p>Block schedule=more procrastinating. Which unfortunately, I do a lot of. :)</p>
<p>Yeah, that's true. XD I did sooooo much of that this last year.</p>
<p>hmm i like my normal scheduling
i think id die if i had 2 hours of the same teacher in one time
but it does sound nice</p>
<p>ehhh, you get used to it.</p>
<p>It's definitely not fun in some classes though, you look at the clock thinking "it must be almost time to go" and you still have an hour. XD not fun.</p>
<p>I love my schedule- it rotates around on a 7 day rotation schedule. It keeps things from getting boring.</p>
<p>However, I never actually get to "know" my exact schedule until about April-May... oh well- not hard to go to my locker to see what's next.</p>
<p>My D had block 9,10,11/ They now changed to 7 classes, she HATES it. Because of the change, all the IB students are forced to take on level gov/econ, cuz it is a state req and ap of them will not fit into their schedule. Anyways, D is very upset over not having block anymore, says"how much can you discuss, learn" in 50 minutes!</p>
<p>Check out Colorado College if you like the idea of the block plan.</p>
<p>That's how I feel as well. Whenever we have minimum days at my school now, it feels like we can't do anything so we end up just taking a quiz or watching a movie or something because the teachers (and the students for that matter) are used to having 90 or so minutes to get things done.</p>

<p>Quite a bit...</p>
<p>Besides, for most of the schools that I'm applying to, the typical class is only 50 minutes.</p>
<p>I guess if the teachers are good at consolidating things it works.</p>
<p>I think it's different if you're used to block schedules because the teachers are able to go WAY more in-depth because they have a longer time to explain.</p>
<p>But then I guess it also makes sense because if you meet every time you make up for lost time...I suppose it's pretty much an even trade.</p>
<p>I just prefer block.</p>
<p>I like "block" too. With my rotation, a class can either be 50 minutes or 75, and it switches around what period of the day it is.</p>
<p>We had this random schedule last year...</p>
<p>Monday we went to 1-6 and they were like 50 mins.
Tuesday and Thursday we went to 1,3,5 and 7.
Wednesday and Friday we went to 2,4,6 and 7.
I don't know what genius came up with that one, but we all HATED it, so they decided to listen to the students (GASP, yes it actually happens once in a while!) and go back to block schedule this year. It makes us all happy. :)</p>
<p>my school used to have block schedule and i LOVED it
but, after sophomore year it got changed
the teachers said they would give less hw, but they gave more :(
the guidance counselors told us that our class was the one most screwed up by this, because the seniors are basically done and frosh are just beginning.</p>
<p>Block scheduling= smartest thing my school has done</p>
<p>I really like block scheduling, but it gets kind of hard to memorize all your friends' schedules and sometimes even your own.</p>
<p>We're all used to it. XD And a lot of times we'll just be like "What class do you have right now?" so it's not that big a deal. Because since we have SLCs a bunch of us only have like 1 class together. So yeah it's hard to keep up.</p>
<p>My school is on a rotating college block schedule, which means I only have some classes twice a week. Best of all, I only have around 4 hours worth of school time each day.</p>
<p>I like block schedule, and it's not too hard to memorize your friends' schedules, contrary to what bubbly says. But I do procrastinate rather more with block schedule....</p>
<p>my high school has a 4 by 4 block schedule</p>
