These are the schedules . These are the schedules where you attend a specific class every other day for 90 minutes, instead of every day for 45 minutes. The theroy is that it is to helps spend more time on a subject and improve TAKS scores. I am finding that 90 minutes on one subject is FAR too long for a 12-14 year old's attention span, and that half the calss seems to be spent letting the kids do homework. My children (read two) complain they frequently can't remember what they studied when they had a class 2 days ago.
