Discontinue The Block Schedule

Discontinue The Block Schedule
As a student myself I say students should not have four classes a day that are 90 minutes long. Students and teachers both are impacted by this problem. Students are unfocused, teachers can have trouble keeping their lessons engaging and fun, and students can feel like they need to get up and move around. Studies have shown kids miss out on much more curriculum with a block schedule than a traditional schedule. This problem is important to me and directly affects me and my learning. With the block schedule I struggle to focus or sit still for an extended amount of time and having 90 minute classes makes me not excited or ready to learn and it makes it very difficult to be able to comprehend or really understand the material due to the lack of focus.
