October 30, 200719 yr My school 6th grade Regular & Advanced- Regular Math GEM-Pre Algebra 7th grade Regular & Advanced- Regular Math GEM- Algebra 1 8th Grade Regular- Normal Math Advanced- Pre Algebra Honors- Algebra 1 GEM- Geometry Next year in 9th grade, Ill be taking Algebra 2 and Pre Calc. how the hell do you take Algebra II and PreCalc at the same time. That's the most ridiculous thing i've ever heard. Block Scheduling I'm guessing he lives in Broward County where they just love their 4x4 from hell. i'm sure it's possible logistically, but you need to know Algebra 2 to start precalculus, you can't be learning PreCalculus concepts without having finished algebra 2. You take Algebra II in the first semester and then do Pre-Calculus in the second semester. Kids in Broward have 4 classes a day for around 75-90 minutes each and then get 4 new classes after Christmas Break. It's almost like 2 school years....it sucks big time.
October 30, 200719 yr Again, block scheduling. He takes one, one semester and the other the other semester. Not at the same time. Edit: Late. Also, block scheduling is way better to me. I'm glad I had it in high school.
October 30, 200719 yr Again, block scheduling. He takes one, one semester and the other the other semester. Not at the same time. Edit: Late. Also, block scheduling is way better to me. I'm glad I had it in high school. It was one of the many reasons why I moved out of Broward County and chose to go to Mariner. I hate block scheduling because it cuts total instruction time when all is said and done. Governor Bush forgave so many missed hours of my freshman year on my transcript that it wasn't even funny. Broward has so many issues with high school academic integrity due to capacity issues.
October 30, 200719 yr How does it cut instruction time? (I may be ignorant to it, I don't know) On a regular schedule I wouldn't have been able to take as much AP as I did in HS which (surprisingly) helped me a bit in college. Plus it allowed me to manipulate my schedule around track not only for school but when I was out of town nearly every weekend with my private team in the spring.

Plus it allowed me to manipulate my schedule around track where I was out of town nearly every weekend with my private team in the spring. I went to school 4 days a week, with 4 two hour classes a day. But having even normal block scheduling has less time in the classroom over a year per course than a normal 7 day period. Only advantage is block gives you that 8th credit a year. But it isn't worth it to me....but for you it worked. To each their own.
October 30, 200719 yr Stoneman Douglas is in Broward County, it does not have block scheduling. Stoneman Douglas was a newer facility in an area that wasn't exploding like Weston, Pembroke Pines, or Miramar were. Plus, you guys nearest neighbor was the Sawgrass Expressway.
October 30, 200719 yr Stoneman Douglas is in Broward County, it does not have block scheduling. STONEMAN DOUGLAS IS DROWNING

October 31, 200719 yr I liked block scheduling. Trust me, when you have a bad class/subject/teacher....you'll be glad it's only for a handful of months instead of an entire school year. I'd rather take the extra 30 minutes of class than have the same crap from august to may.
October 31, 200719 yr I had block scheduling in middle school back in the day and it sucked. There was nothing worse than sitting in a class for two hours with a teacher that despised me.
October 31, 200719 yr Im not as dumb as you people think. Im in 8th grade taking 10th grade math. Getting a D+ of course. Im saying that the damage shown in the pics are from about 3 hurricanes. I didnt say that only 3 hurricanes happened Lol @ being proud of having a D+
October 31, 200719 yr I had block scheduling but we had same classes all year. Maybe it's a different type of block scheduling. I can't even remember most of my high school classes now.
October 31, 200719 yr Yea, it is block scheduling. Going back to the topic, theres school tomorrow in Broward and Miami. Why? I dont know, we're gonna be stuck after school
October 31, 200719 yr Yea, it is block scheduling. Going back to the topic, theres school tomorrow in Broward and Miami. Why? I dont know, we're gonna be stuck after school Don't stress it, being in school longer may very well help certain people more than it will harm them.
October 31, 200719 yr Just be honest and tell the kid he's a moron. Bluntness has worked wonders for fishfan, after all.
October 31, 200719 yr Just be honest and tell them kid he's a moron. Bluntness has worked wonders for fishfan, after all. And FFIPA. But dudes, and this is Dodge mod - be civil. I ain't saying don't have fun, just sayin be civil.
