Also test scores do not show that the block schedule is more effective than the traditional day. Most school systems have went away from block schedule because of money. Block schedule is much more expensive and does not give results that a traditional schedule does.Ella Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08004885232852482737noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-151096942903989101.post-28785554139187064652009-02-23T19:24:00.000-05:002009-02-23T19:24:00.000-05:00Thank you Ella.

I have not met an "effective" high school teacher who thinks this is good for the school system.<BR/><BR/>Sure the students love it because many teachers never teach the full block and let the students do all their homework in class.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-151096942903989101.post-47373187052694692642009-02-22T10:44:00.000-05:002009-02-22T10:44:00.000-05:00Great idea.

Large charities have to do this or their donations suffer - so why not a school system? <BR/><BR/>The county should do the same. Our county employs far more people than surrounding counties yet provide the same services.Cerebrationhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11161868015604029471noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-151096942903989101.post-72515173168800782762009-02-21T23:03:00.000-05:002009-02-21T23:03:00.000-05:00Very good post.Very good post.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
