POV issues

This article appears to take a pro-block scheduling stance, talking about "wasted" time between class periods and mentioning only the advantages of block scheduling, without mentioning the disadvantages. As such, I've tagged with a {{POV}} tag. I may get a chance to work on the POV myself but I can't right now. Powers ^T 15:04, 8 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I think I've fixed that by adding material on common criticisms. -- Beland 03:03, 29 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

This article seems to be anti-block scheduling. There is very little support for block scheduling. Under "Effectiveness" there is no support for block scheduling. There should be both sides under this, probably split in two sub-sections, one fro pros and one for cons. Holycow958 21:23, 21 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

It does need two sides...(but block schedules suck anyways ;)) --hello, i'm a member | talk to me! 23:50, 7 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I agree, it seems very one-sided, anti-block scheduling. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.31.47.44 (talk) 01:25, 29 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Sections

There should be a section that goes into more detail of each type of block scheduling. For example, one for 4x4, one for AB days, etc. If someone does this, creating a table like the one on the top for each type would help a lot for comprehension. Holycow958 19:16, 22 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Effectiveness

I am not sure if there is any proof for this, but block scheduling makes sense to me because once you begin a class, it takes a few minutes to get focused, after which it is easier to pay attention to the material for a full 80 minutes. Otherwise it would take more time to get focused each class, therefore wasting (or extra, if you think wasted implies POV) time. PhorkPhace 03:57, 21 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Homework

I think there should be some note about homework in block scheduling. I personally like block scheduling because I could (but most often dont) do my homework the day I get it. That way, if I need assistance I can ask a my teacher for help and still hand it in on time. PhorkPhace 03:57, 21 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
