It helps them gather more college credit too. It can help them get college credit with the extra class periods they may if they are close to meeting all their graduation requirements. In a block schedule you could get your graduation requirements done in 2 and a half school years while in an eight period day you don't have as much time in a class.

All schools should switch to block scheduling because of the benefits. It helps them get more time in classes and lets them take more. It also lets them gain credits towards their futures. I say all schools should read this and change for their
