Advantages Of Block Scheduling

“If you don 't have time to read, you don 't have the time (or the tools) to write. Simple as that.” ― Stephen King. A block schedule would be a solution for any school to change the way they organize their school day. It can change in the classes offered to select students, or include the extra-curricular activities that they will offer. They also will vary in the ways that they will schedule a school day.

This would then give more space to retake any kind of class that you might have failed. Students also could earn more credits by choosing to take more classes in shorter semester terms. The students will benefit from the classes by having fewer assignments,
