Does my school do block scheduling? I don’t know. I’m an international student (India). What do I mark for that? My school does have extra classes and stuff for the senior class…
<p>"A means of circumventing the time constraints of a single class period. The traditional school day is typically divided into six or seven classes of 45 to 55 minutes. In contrast, blocked courses may be scheduled for two or more continuous class periods or days to allow students greater time for laboratory or project-centered work, field trips, or work-based learning and special assemblies or speakers. Block scheduling reduces instructional time lost in passing classes."</p>
<p>My counselor rec has "no" for block scheduling, although we do have extended classes (not as a matter of course, but say when we're called to school on holidays or before exams).</p>
<p>Should I bother to get it corrected?</p>
<p>It doesn't sound like what you have at your school is block scheduling because it is only occaisonal. Block scheduling is every day, throughout the year. I'd leave your counselor rec as is.</p>
<p>Block scheduling = <3</p>
<p>You don't have block scheduling.</p>
<p>We have block scheduling. It basically, in a nutshell, is when you instead take half of your classes on one day, and the other half on another day, as opposed to having all your classes in one day. On block scheduling you receive twice as long of a lesson, but meet every other day.</p>
<p>I love block scheduling. Just means you have an extra day for homework.</p>
<p>Some of my son's classes meet for 1 hour fourty-five min every othe day</p>
<p>We have 4x4 block scheduling. This is when you have four classes the first semester and four classes second semester. This works wonders for our AP scores and language courses!!!</p>
