Response to Sara P's Idea

I personally believe that block scheduling is a much better way of teaching for both the teachers and students. If our school had eight classes each day, homework every night would be extensive. Even if you only had about ten minutes of homework in about four of your eight classes, the time would add up quickly. Having block scheduling allows students to only have to worry about homework in four different classes. This is more convenient for athletes who give up at least two hours of their after school time each night. Block scheduling allows for a longer class time, which is helpful when working on projects and teaching hard lessons. Without block scheduling, classes would be only half as long. While having four classes means that teachers will give more homework in those four periods, I still believe that it is a much easier method for the students.
