// Manitou going into block // // Have you ever wondered, what a block system is, well I never heard of it on till I heard Manitou was going to go into block system next year school year 2010. It’s like a plane for what the times and places you will be. There, are nine week terms of the school year witch is one-block term. There are 4 terms during a school year. The classes are 85-minute classes per day. Witch makes the periods longer. that makes it possible for a student to complete a whole one-year course in two terms or one semester. At the end of the school year, students will have completed eight classes. Most of the people I have asked think that it seems like a good idea! //

// the reason for the middle school is going to do the block system is that they will have the same schedule they will get out at the same time and start at the same time for parents with middle school kids and high school will leave home at one time and get to school on time.and also middle schoolers could take high school classes and one teacher can have a job in both schools. //

// Disadvantages //

// * If you had a child in elementary you would have to plan a whole different schedule into your plans // // * It cost the district more money. Because // // * Missing a class would be like missing 2 classes in the old middle school schedule by, the one and on l// y Dani Ortonward
