As a student attending Vista High in San Diego, I experienced a block schedule first hand. The week ran as follows: Monday-late start 8:30-2:20 while Tuesday through Friday were regular block periods starting at 7:30-2:20. The week was entirely set up as block with roughly 100 minute time periods. This type of schedule allowed me to prepare for homework assignments over two nights. I would not have to worry about an assignment due the next day. This also allowed for you to get extra help the following day is there was something that needed clarification from that teacher. Drawbacks were the periods were long and sometimes seemed like the teachers didn't know how to fill the period and it was confusing which day it was (odd-1,3,5 or even-2,4,6).
