Pre-2003 or whenever it was they started the new school schedule, how many classes did we have a day? Was it six or seven?

3/15/2009 11:23:20 PM

i was apex high 2000 and we had 6 periods/day

3/15/2009 11:25:29 PM

We had however many we fucking wanted to have.

Because we were 16 and unstoppable!

3/15/2009 11:27:28 PM

^^ You only have 5 classes a day? Or is that not including lunch?

3/15/2009 11:39:42 PM

PSH we had block schedule when i was in high school

4 1.5 hour classes ftl

3/15/2009 11:40:56 PM

^we also had that. i liked it. less interruptions in my naps.

3/15/2009 11:41:36 PM

i, too, had block scheduling. (4 1.5 hour classes)

3/15/2009 11:41:38 PM

I am so glad my high school didn't implement that block scheduling crap until after I graduated

3/15/2009 11:41:42 PM

why? it was nice to only have 4 different things to think about at once.

3/15/2009 11:42:32 PM

^ i never thought of it like that.

the best was PE. or art. or nutrition. hell yeah

and then senior year-flex period ( either come to school for second block or leave after third)

It would have bored the crap out of me. I liked having a variety of classes in my schedule.

3/15/2009 11:44:59 PM

I never understood why people disliked block scheduling.

Only 4 classes per semester at a time. It was easy.

3/15/2009 11:45:56 PM

it would've bored me either way.

3/15/2009 11:46:38 PM

we had 6 + lunch at CHS

Some people like to be challenged. Even 6 (or 7, I can't remember anymore lol) classes at a time still wasn't enough sometimes. Depended on how good the teachers were really.

3/15/2009 11:52:14 PM

it was 6 classes. for me, 4 before lunch, 2 after.

3/15/2009 11:53:28 PM

It must have been six then. I wish I could find the old bell schedule online or something.

3/15/2009 11:55:30 PM

I'm pretty sure Enloe had 7.

3/16/2009 4:58:13 AM

I know that Mount Tabor (This years 4A basketball champs) had 7 period days when I was there. All I cared about was work exp./co-op and a travel period to go to career center/eat lunch.

Yay for not going to school!

3/16/2009 6:14:57 AM

my last semester in hs i took environmental science, guitar, photography, and then i was an office assistant for a period. i'm pretty sure i didn't do anything but walk around with my camera that entire semester.

3/16/2009 7:39:48 AM

enloe had 8 periods, and 2 lunch periods (so lunch and seven classes for most people) one year i didnt have a lunch and took 8 classes instead.

3/16/2009 7:45:28 AM

I had 39 periods per day, because I liked being challenged. Never mind that the classes were only a few minutes each, we still had enough time to get our homework assignments and that is all I really wanted anyway. I'm better than you since you were block scheduled.

3/16/2009 7:59:30 AM

6 at Millbrook.

3/16/2009 8:25:29 AM

For those of you with 6 periods a day did you all rotate any classes? We had block scheduling. So 8 classes a year. Seems a little unfair for some schools to be able to take 32 classes while others are only allowed 24.

3/16/2009 8:28:47 AM

6+lunch

3/16/2009 11:02:02 AM

at Broughton we had 6 periods plus lunch.

im sorry - i lol'ed.

we are talking about high school right?

challenge and high school...

DOES

NOT

COMPUTE

[Edited on March 16, 2009 at 11:20 AM. Reason : ^^^yeah i thought about that too.....]

3/16/2009 11:19:41 AM

by senior year we were ready to be out and only had 18 classes done.

i would hate to think of having 24 classes done and 8 more to go at this point.

and i agree

high school != hard/challenging

3/16/2009 11:24:39 AM

There is plenty of challenging coursework in high school.

Most kids choose not to challenge themselves, and it shows when they arrive at college barely able to write a quick essay.

I thought Enloe had 8? This included lunch (5th or 6th)...then 3 or 2 more classes.

seven periods

3/16/2009 12:48:27 PM

At Broughton we had A & B days

I think we had 8 classes

4 classes on A Days (M/W/F) and 4 classes on B Days(Tues/Thurs)...The classes on A Days one week were on B Days the next

this depends.we had AP courses (which i took 4)
and you could choose to take courses at the local community college if you wanted to (which i did not)

still highschool =/= challenging
for me at least
...schoolwork didn't really become that challenging until about halfway through my sophomore year at state.....then woaaaah

3/16/2009 2:56:02 PM

I graduated from Garner in 1998 and we had 6 classes a day, but some of the electives were twon hours, so you still went to class for 6 hours even if you only had 5 classes.

3/16/2009 2:58:29 PM

my junior and senior year i had a class that took up 2 periods. construction tech FTW

3/16/2009 2:59:44 PM

yeah they did start doing some weird shit after i left.

3/16/2009 3:05:17 PM

yea it was great, cause i had lunch 5th period my senior year so the last 2.5 hours of school was a fucking breeze.

What school did you go to? I may be able to track it down for you, or at least something close.

The block is specifically designed to allow advanced students more opportunity to be challenged as well as allow underachieving students to have remediation and still graduate on time. 8 classes per year as opposed to 6.

If you are talking about the girl that can be seen somewhere in the below photo then yes. We weren't close friends, but we did have 6th period 10th grade World Civ history together. Her twin brother Robert was in 7th grade Exploring Technology with me and in 7th grade English with me.

I also know Corey Lyons (NCSU football 1998-2000) and Brandon Sanders (NCSU Football 2000-2003?). Former Xavier All American and current NBA star David West was in my class too, but we don't know each other.

I went to Leesville. I seem to remember 6 classes and a lunch, but I could be wrong.

Also, off campus lunch FTW. That shit was great.

That sounds right. And 10 minutes to change classes as well

^ sup yo.

3/16/2009 4:47:40 PM

I can't remember if we had 6 or 7 at Cary. Gamecat or Sayer my have a better recollection. Aside from going to Europe twice with the band I have tried purging my mind of high school.

3/16/2009 4:55:02 PM

lol i remember my sister always complaining about the lack of time in between classes at enloe

3/16/2009 4:56:27 PM

i can't even remember how many periods i had in high school... i wanna say 8...


jeeze it was only 7 years ago, my memory is slipping

3/16/2009 4:59:38 PM

at enloe we had 8 periods, several classes were 2 periods (calc AB/BC, physics C, physics B) so class number was up to the student

3/16/2009 4:59:56 PM

ahah qntmfred has 6 periods a day
