Why We Should Have Block Scheduling

                                                                                                             

For those of you that don’t know, block scheduling is when you have certain classes on certain day of the week instead of having the same class schedule every day like most high schools do. With block scheduling, you would have three to four classes on every other day and instead of having fifty minute classes you would have around ninety minute classes. Now I’m going to tell you the great benefits of having this kind of scheduling.

            Probably the biggest benefit is the fact that you have more time to study and learn the material. Since you have more time, you are more able to get better one on one studying with your teacher if you are needing help. In your science classes you have way more time to efficiently do a lab project without having to rush. You are almost guaranteed to do better in a class if you have forty extra minutes to work with. And since you have school every other day, you would have more time to ponder on the things that you have been learning.

            Also, block scheduling will help prepare you for college. In college, you wont have the same classes in the same order every day. With the schedule we have now, it will be hard to transition from this to a college schedule. But if we had block scheduling it would be normal and it would make it an easier transition.

            In conclusion, I hope that you can see that block scheduling would be a great idea for our school.
