Lawrence High students weigh six class days plan
Under a new proposal at Lawrence High School, students would attend six classes on Wednesdays and Fridays, with three 85 minute blocks on Thursdays and half classes on Tuesday and Thursday. A seminar period would meet weekly for counseling, testing, assemblies, or teacher meetings, and a seven class option could run mornings. Teachers note potential for improved science and social studies discussion, while foreign language repetition remains valued. The plan could start in the 1995-96 year.
