Well, at our school we are getting ready to try out
a new schedule that we plan to implement next year.
We will be doing 60 minute classes 4 days a week (this
means that one day a week we miss one of our classes).
The schedule has other bonusses, like early dismissal on
Fridays, and time for meetings on Wed. morning.
We plan to implement the schedule during 98-99 school year
but we will try it out for two weeks beginning Oct. 13th, and
then for another two weeks in March, to get ourselves
prepared.
Some of the teachers are concerned about not seeing their
students every day, especially in the lower ability
courses.
