Why is my school's class times so weird?

Question

We have the block schedule. So we have three 95 minute periods each day. We have six classes in total that we take each year, with the days switching from one group of classes to the other one. We have Even(periods 2,4,6) and Odd days(periods 3,5,7) With only six classes a day I can barely fit anything into my schedule for all of high school. I have to take classes over the summer just to be able to complete the health prerequisite that is needed to graduate! Also, in Spanish is almost impossible to remember things when I only have the class ever other day. The plus though, is that we get 2 days to do our homework. Anyone think this schedule thing is weird?

Answer 1

Why don´t you ask the school authorities if you are concerned? Many schools count the time walking between classes as PE time so you are lucky to be in a school which takes your future health seriously.

Answer 2

wow i feel bad for you well actually i went thorugh that bad in middle school i hated it cuz classes were like h**l two hours but it is a good thing that you have more time to do your homework. Im glad im out of that though my classes were 1,2,3  a day and 4,5,6 the next.

Answer 3

Actually depending on your school district and where your school is located this can be completely normal. Many public schools are switching to a block schedule if not one one already. I know its torture but its to give the teachers ample time to complete the lesson. It shouldn't be too bad as long as you go into it with an open mind and positive thoughts.  

Answer 4

Okay..I'm not in High School, but that's definitely WEIRD! P.E for that long is horrible because if you have it right after lunch, oh god, be prepared to BARF. I can't help but that really SUCKS!
