I hate cleaning. When I daydream, I often imagine having enough money to hire a housekeeper. (Usually one with a cute 11-year-old son.) As I was showering after cleaning the shower, I was remembering the odd scheduling at my middle school. They called it 8 periods, but almost all classes took 2 and classes changed at the semester, so really it was more like 4 period block scheduling. And to keep things interesting (and appease teachers who didn’t want to always have to teach through morning fog or end-of-day fidgetyness) they didn’t always go 1 through 8. Lunch happened between 3 and 4. Or was it 5 and 6? It must have been 5 and 6, because we got out at 2:50. So they were always at the same time.
Looked at the website. They still do it the same way. So the periods went 1-2, 3-4 ,5-6, 7-8 for a bit, then changed to 7-8, 1-2, 5-6, 3-4 then obviously 3-4, 7-8, 5-6, 1-2. Funny. Ah middle school…
