Re: HS - Block scheduling

["S. Griffith" <afn11720@AFN.ORG>]

We are middle school but;
I think the library is used less, if a science teacher wants to bring all
her classes it takes 2 days, to get them in, if she has 2 blocks per day
then I have 2 free blocks [we have 4 blocks a day].
It is hard to schedule the 6th grade classes to come every other week b/c
it takes four days to get them all in, that leaves only 6 days for every
one else. So I have the two 6th grade teams come for 45 min each, rather
than 90, that only takes 2 days and leaves 8 for the other grades,
electives. One of our blocks is peer/lunch and reading, that is a problem
b/c all 8 seventh grade teachers have reading at the same time, it would
take 8 days to get them all in and that knocks out the other grades. I
have more time to do my work, that part is good
