The block scheduling allows Kayla an extra day to grasp a difficult lesson and seek help if needed, and god knows she will need it this year with Spanish 1. Got to love a teacher that speaks only the foreign language in class to a class of absolute beginners in the language.

Our block scheduling allowed us to do all that and have 1.5hrs every other day to have independent work time. I think thats what ruined it for us. Kids weren't using that time for work and help. They were using it to walk in the halls, travel to friends' classes and simply just socialize. I knew they were taking away SRT this year and thats why I decided to socialize and such last year in it. Aha

I was going to be in Spanish 1 but I informed them yesterday I took 1 & 2 in middle school~

Because they are idiots. As of right now, most students are thinking it's because they either don't care anymore OR the SRT thing. I don't think they realize what they did though.

I had AP Gov last year. Do you know how each day in that class was planned? You come in, do a warm up, briefly talk about what we went over last time and then the rest of class was basically lecture/notes/discussion. It seriously took the whole 1.5hrs to get through things and stop at an appropriate point. With 45mins, I have a feeling that AP classes like Gov are going to be screwed. Not enough time for thorough discussions and they will definitely be stopping lessons at awkward points.

Wheeewwww

So like.. you don't even get to apply to whatever college you want? A test tells you what college(s) you get to choose/pick from? @_@ If so, I would not enjoy that.

I never understood what Honors classes were in highschool. I don't think my school has them, and if they do they aren't common at all. I'm guessing we have them, we just call them Diff? Is it a class where it's harder then the regular class, but not eligible for college credit?

Something like that. It's like going further in the class. As you may know, in classes like Chemistry and stuff, teachers only teach to a certain point if it's just simple/regular chemistry. Honors is for kids that did exceptionally well in the class and would be able to handle the more difficult parts of the subject.

At least, this is what I got from some people I know who have taken honors classes and schtuff. /shrugg

Welcome to my world, 8 classes a day for 6 hours.

crystalblueheart · 08-20-2011, 11:12 PM

Yeah, honors and AP are "weighted classes," and honors and AP are worth 5 points for an A instead of 4 in regular classes. Honors are just faster paced and more in depth. For us, there's honors for chemistry and anatomy/phisiology, and the languages. For languages we go levels 1-5, where 4 is honors and 5 is AP, and you can't take a "regular" level 4 or 5 language. We can take Spanish 1 over 2 years in 7th and 8th grade (Spanish 1A and Spanish 1B), or in one year in 9th grade, but if you do it in one year, you can't get to AP Spanish.

I WAS going to have an 8AM class this semester (along with a 11-2 class) before I got into my financial aid issue. Now no classes. Will have to wait for the Winter semester.
