Akins is considering a revision to the current schedule to go into effect next year. The schedule will be changed to a 'mixed block' meaning that while periods 1-6 will continue every other day for 45 minutes, periods 7 and 8 will meet every day for 45 minutes.
This is just another pointless complication to a schedule that still has some people confused about what classes they are supposed to be at. This plan is especially bad for the techers who are forced to come up a lesson plan to fit a 45 minute class along with the 90 minute plan. With block scheduling, you either need to do it all the way or not at all.
We need to actually have the administration listen to what we want. Nevermind the fact that they completly ignored us when coming up with block scheduling. We need to make sure that they at least listen to the student body and recognize the fact that we have an opinion.
