In your opinion, would block scheduling be better than traditional scheduling?

Examples.
Block scheduling = Different classes on different days of the week.
Monday-Math, Lit, Social stud etc.
Tuesday-Lit, Gym, Science etc.

Traditional = Same classes every day of the week.
Monday-Math, Lit, Social stud etc.
Tuesday-Math, Lit, Social stud etc.

My high school implemented a block system the year after I graduated, and I was jealous. The block programs allow for more to get done (45 minutes as compared to 75 or so, I don't know how long they get), as well as prepare you for college classes, which are longer for the most part.

I did have blocks twice a week though, for science classes. I was in my school's science and technology program, and on Tuesdays and Wednesdays during my freshman and sophomore years, we went to one class instead of the two we were scheduled to have. We got to do longer labs with agar plates and bacterial cultures and, gah, it was fun.

I sound like such a freakin' geek.
