My school does.  Why can't there be eight periods?

Fishalicious

Yeah, we have 8 periods... it was seven last year. The freshmen coming in also have to get four more credits, as well.

Me? In my seniour year, I'll have two or three (possibly four) free spaces for electives/wandering aimlessly around the halls. :D Probably end up having two or three art/computer classes, knowing me.

I can't believe that school starts tommorow morning. I know it had to start eventually, but that still couldn't make me accept it.

We only have 5 periods, an hour each.

There's a two week timetable we have a different mix of lessons each day over that time, then it repeats. If I were to post my timetable it would take up a lot of room.
Not that I even have it yet.

Heheh, classes for me are set up in MWF/TR format.

Like so -

MWF
English 101 - 11 am-11:50
Art Seminar - 12Pm-12:50

TR
Drama 115 - 8 am-9:15 am
Calc I - 3:30 PM-4:45 PM

Apparently I have it easy... not that walking a lot is considered 'easy'...

Here's my schedule:
1. Pre-IB Eng. 1
2. Spanish 2
3. Pre-IB World Geography
4.Lunch
5.Pre-iB Biology
6.Boys P.E.
7.Pre-IB Geometry
8 Health Ed.
For those of you are wondering, IB is a special honors program.

darkphantomime

IB is overrated and only assigns as much college credit as AP, but IB is harder, so that makes the effort not as worthwhile.

I have six periods...I got Drama, so I'm happy...want to get all A's, if only so my sister will shut up... ???

...WHATTTT!!?? I would die if I had 8 periods. I only have 4 periods per semester (an hour and 15 mins each). They used to have one which you could take during lunch, but then they got rid of it.I start on September 4th. Annnd.. I don't really remember what my schedual is.. I lost the papers somewhere, ha. But I think I remember the classes I took. Let me see.

-Art
-Animation (gr. 11)
-Animation (gr. 12) <--I could only take this if I took gr. 11 first.
-Earth Science.. Or Geography? Something like that.
-CO-OP (two credits)
-English
And there was another. Think maybe math? Not sure.

darkphantomime

Uhh... I think the whole 8-period dealio was the same as the four period a semester dealio... Err... But my junior year in high school, the administration was stupid enough to go from a block 4-period a semester schedule to a 7-period schedule Per day. Anyway, the Block periods were 90 minute classes each, while the 7-period ones were 50 minutes each. Guess who wins with the Block Schedule?

AP! (one class over two semesters.)

Twilight Wolf

I used to have four classes a day, and each day would alternate classes, except for Art. My schedule was like this:

"A" Day:
  • French
  • Social Studies
  • English
  • Art
"B" Day:
  • Science
  • Algebra 1
  • P.E.
  • Art
I'm pretty sure Art would have been replaced with something else if I had stayed into the second semester... I don't remember what it was, though.
What, you expect me to say something witty?

Rinku

I've only got 6 periods:

1st: Algebra 2
2nd: Band
3rd: PE
4th: Honors Biology
5th: Japanese
6th: Honors English
