“I think the overall equity amongst everything [will be better]. Having classes with different lengths, the confusion with the test times and teachers having to plan for classes, some classes being double blocked and others not, everything will be the same and everybody will have the same experience.” Coppell High School principal Dr. Nicole Jund said. For that I think its good. Having a block schedule will provide a lot less transition time and research tells us that there is less opportunity [for students] to fight and makes for a safer learning. It costs more for the school but ultimately its better for the kids.”
