block schedules

[Bryce Johnson <brycej@SINNFREE.SINNFREE.ORG>]

I do remember that there was a brief discussion about block schedules a
while back.  I do know that there are a number of ways this has been done
in school districts throughout the United States.  Next year, we will have
only our freshman students on a block schedule.  It will be the 90 minute
time frame.  I see good application for it in phyics, chemistry and
computer classes.  I would like to know how this has impacted library
services.  I have read articles where the library has become a dumping
ground because older teachers simply cannot change their respective
styles.  If you can relate your experiences with the block to our group, I
would be appreciate it.
