And most of my classes spend a lot of time just sitting there, or the teacher starts talking about nothing.
I think the schools with more classes really should consider a block system. In my eyes, I think it is better--but that is something for another discussion. I think if you have so much homework then you should call the school and complain. I know parents who have done it before and action has been taken because of it. It is always worth a shot.
