High school specifically...

When I was a freshman, I have like a 8-class schedule. Where one of the classes was lunch. And they were each like 45 minutes. But for the next three years, they did A-Day, B-Day classes... which I hated so much. The classes were about an hour and a half except for 3 period which was 2 and a half hours(the lunch class). What schedule did you have in high school? Did your school ever change scheduling layouts? And what kind of schedule did you(or would you) have liked best?

Freshman-Junior year was 8 classes 50 minutes each. Senior year I just needed a couple of classes so I only went until around 10 a.m.

Ah... the half schedule. My mom was mad that. Instead of doing that, I just use to skip with my friends a lot...

Freshmen - had 5 academic courses, pe, lunch, study hall
Junior-sophomore - had 6 academic courses, strength and conditioning, lunch
Senior - had 7 academic courses and lunch

All were 55 mins each.

I also took 3 classes over the summer in between semesters to get ahead.

7 classes a day. My senior year I had almost all my credits except the classes you had to take during your senior year. I got lucky because the editor of the local paper taught a journalism/photography class that year and we contributed to the paper. I also took a cultural anthropology class that was another fun elective.

We had 8 class periods, lunch did not count in that. One day each week we had all 8 periods for about 45 minutes each, then the other four days were odds or evens for about 90 minutes each. Of course, after I think freshman (or maybe sophomore) year we could have off periods and I took full advantage of that. Well, maybe not totally full because I'm pretty sure I took more science classes than I needed to. I can't remember if you just had to meet all your credit requirements or if they also had a limit on how many off periods you were allowed.

8 classes 45 minutes each and then lunch and "tutorials" 30 minutes each between 4th and 5th classes.

Wish they wouldve just let HS and JH eat together and cut away the "point" of tutorials and not waste even more of life every week but what can you do?

56 minute blocks. 8 block schedule, but only 6 blocks a day. Monday to Thursday, every block meets a total of three times. There are 8 different scheduling days, but there's really only 4; it's to fit in classes that meet biweekly. On friday, it's a special rotation that seems random, but it's actually calculated, it's just one of the 8 scheduling days.

Some classes, usually science, have labs, which are back to back blocks.

I went to a private military school. All students were JROTC. Classes were from 8:30 to 3:15 (approximately, I don't remember exactly), but you had to be there by 8:15 because they made everyone stand in formation. Day students (my school had dorms), had to sign in before forming up.

Classes were split into eight 50 minute periods, with 5 minutes in between each period. Lunch was assigned as either your 5th or 6th period. We also had a short break after 3rd period (I forget if it was 10 or 15 minutes). Same classes everyday, no class rotation or classes that only met a couple times a weke. The only exception was Naval Science (which was mandatary for 3 years) had two days where you met for physical training.

I also remember having to do weekly parade practice whenever parades were coming up (we had like 3 or 4 of those a school year). I forget when exactly they fit that in. I think it was before school.

Seven hours in a day, kept a full schedule until senior year where I gave myself a study hall in the second semester. Each period was 53 minutes I think?

I went to three different high schools and they all had different schedules. One was 8 classes, each like an hour and a half, four each day. Another was 7 classes, all in one day, and another was six.

Which year was the best? And which classes did you take over the summer?

My senior year was mostly electives, too. And ones that you had to know people to get. Haha.

They almost did that for us. But then figured A-Day, B-Day would work better. It still got confusing at times...

What are tutorials? And how would letting HS & JH eat lunch together help? I might be missing something really simple here...

What were the classes like? I was in the military, but never did military school...

I probably shouldn't taken some free time for my senior year, but had a bunch of electives instead...

I think it was 6 whole classes, about an hour long each. With half hour for home room and another for lunch.
In my sophomore year they started this rotating schedule shit. First day is periods 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6. Second day was 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 1. Third day was 3, 4, 5...

There is a calendar of the school year that will tell you what scheduling day that specific friday is. There is usually more day 1 or 5 (monday's) on friday's because of how holidays are.

Tutorials was basically sit down in a room until JH or HS lunch was over. If you needed help with something and the respective teacher wasnt on lunch duty you could go ask but most people ended up doing absolutely nothing. The cafeteria was more than big enough to allow for all of my small school to eat together and if we had thatd be 30 minutes every day that need not be wasted.

Provided that they didnt force said 30 minutes into something else which they very well couldve. But OPTIMISM! Yay...

I feel that once you got into the groove, it would be fine. But I would get classes mixed up pretty often without writing it down at first... Haha...

Oh. Ok. I see. Then it was planned out pretty far in advance. Which means if things needed to be changed, they could do it pretty early...

What was the advisory class?

In high school we just worked on our senior project, or did work from other classes.

At the middle school in teach at, which has basically the same set up, the teachers can do pretty much whatever we want. I usually watch the news, or have discussions about high school and college stuff

9th, 10th, and 12th I went to a Catholic high school.

1st, 5th and 6th periods were always the same every day (you either had 5th or 6th period lunch). 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 7th, and 8th rotated every day. Periods were maybe 50 minutes?

Junior year at public school, schedule was 45ish minute classes, you either had A,B, or C lunch, and then 2 classes after the last lunch.

As a teacher, my first school was similar to my Catholic high school with 1st period being the same every day, but every other period rotated on a daily basis. I think classes were 52 minutes.

Second school, all classes were 90 minutes every day (specials and Spanish was broken into 45 minutes). I saw three groups of kids, had a 45 minute "break", and then had to go into other classrooms for 45 minutes to help other teachers.

Current school is 8 period day with classes either 42 or 43 minutes, a 16 minute break after third period, and a 35 minute lunch.
