Block Scheduling

Pre-College Issues High School Life

<p>Anybody else have it?</p>

<p>My school has A/B block scheduling...90 minutes per class, 4 classes a day, you take 8 classes total. Weeks go ABABA, BABAB, etc. I can take it or leave it, personally.</p>

2

<p>50 minute classes, 6 classes a day.
1 class is always dropped per 6 day rotation.</p>

<p>I like the drop day idea. :)</p>

3

<p>i have block… but on semesters.
so it’s AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA for 90 days than BBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBB for the rest of the year.</p>

<p>love it.</p>

<p>Our school has trimesters, 5 classes a day (4th period is lunch) each class is ~72 minutes.</p>

<p>Most core classes are only 2 trimesters long. So if you were to take Algebra 2, you would take it for 2 trimesters (you can have it 1st and 2nd trimester, 2nd and 3rd tri, or 1st and 3rd) and the best part is: ONE TRIMESTER WITHOUT MATH!! Isn’t that awesome?</p>

<p>1st bell = 7:15-8:28
2nd bell = 8:34-9:45
3rd bell = 9:51-11:07
4th bell = 11:07-12:57 (A lunch starts at 11:07 but classes at 11:13) we get 30 minutes of lunch, then 6 minutes between that and class, then 72 minute class. B lunch gets the shortest class :o
5th bell = 1:03-2:15</p>

5

<p>I have odd and even days</p>

<p>4 on even days
4 on odd days</p>

<p>1st period is everyday. Therefore, we have 7 periods.</p>

6

<p>I have block scheduling also.</p>

<p>90 minutes/day
Four classes/day, Eight total
Black days, Gold days</p>

7

<p>I have the same block scheduling as the OP…it can be annoying, especially when you have those super boring classes that just drag ooooon and ooooon…</p>

8

<p>I have 4 classes each semester rangig from 0 o 4 classes a day for up to 5 hours of class (without lab)</p>

watchmesoar, I want you to know that I briefly stalked your profile to make sure we don’t go to the same school.
We don’t. XD</p>

10

<p>Odd, Even, Odd+Focus (we get off early, and people can be requested by teachers to stay, like if they’re doing badly in class), Even+Late Arrival, All block</p>

<p>(MT***)</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>We have this exactly</p>

<p>I love it, classes less than an hour long seem rushed to me, and you get 2 days to do homework!</p>

12

<p>Odd/Even Day ; 7:30 - 2:30</p>

<p>Odd (4 classes)
Even (4 different classes)
Odd
Even
Odd …</p>

<p>Even…etc</p>

13

<p>We also have odd and even days; 4 classes per day.</p>

<p>I like it because you have two days to do the homework.</p>

<p>I used to have AB block scheduling and now I have a really weird schedule where I’m taking five classes plus health which is on tuesdays and thursdays. I have class six days a week but on wednesday which is a half day I only have one 50 minute class. Saturday is a half day too but I have three classes. Math, Physics and spanish are five day a week classes and acting and english are four day classes. I have each class for fifty minutes except for once a week for each class I have it for an hour and fifteen minutes but a lot of my teachers just let us go after the fifty minutes. I have a lot of frees though. Here’s what my schedule looks like: <a href=“http://www.exeter.edu/documents/DS_Schedule.pdf[/url]”>http://www.exeter.edu/documents/DS_Schedule.pdf&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>Block is much the same here, too. I like it better because it allows us to take 8 classes rather than 7 classes per year.</p>

<p>True, the longer class periods can be eternal especially if you have the same teacher in two consecutive classes.</p>

16

<p>14 classes per year
each class lasts 45 minutes
3X7 and 2X6 clases per day</p>
