Our classes are currently 105 minutes long, with students attending 3 classes a day. I teach English to honors and reg students. I miss the continuity. No matter how many times you change activities in a period, you lose many students. Band and chorus teachers are very negative.
Many teachers do like it, however.
Many teachers have not adapted and attempt to lecture for the entire period. Absenteeism is difficult, because when students are absent, they are counted absent for two days from each class. I do not see educational benefits. Students report that many teachers allow free time for the last 20-30 minutes. VA This is our first year with block scheduling.
