Block scheduling sucks, reasons (fill free to add):

1 - You lose one class period every week
2 - Enrichment is a waste
3 - The format for block is wrong it should be:
B/G/B/G/ALL
4 - It does not prepare you for college (not all classes are 1.5 hours, in fact, some classes are shorter than even the 55 minute block)
5 - Why do we need 8 minute passing periods? Anyone?
6 - The teachers don't know how to teach it
7 - Everyone thinks we like block
8 - Kills AP classes; you do less specific work
9 - You do less work in general
10 - More projects, less comprehensive tests and essays (Meaningful work)
11- "Sharing time" - to borrow an Adye phrase
12 - Drop and read - it doesn't benefit everyone. I�ll refrain from stating the politically incorrect comment
13 - We still have pep assemblies ECA PM
14 - I can list 14 reasons why it sucks
