Sign this petition to stop block schedules for the MSD 2015-2016 school year. With the new block schedule, school will start at 7:30 and lunch will be at 10:30. Students don't deserve to wake up earlier! Class periods will be 90 minutes, and students are unable to remain alert and pay attention during this lengthy time period. As of now, only teachers are allowed to vote. Students deserve a vote too! Together we can stop the block schedule for next year.

I need this block schedule for next year, and I don't see the big issue with going to school and total of 10 minutes earlier. Everyone would have more time to study and an extra study hall period for preparation in studying. If you're taking a large amount of AP classes, like I am, then this schedule will definitely help with the huge workload you'll be receiving, and it'll allow lectures to not be cut short due to the period times. Sorry that I'd prefer this schedule over the ridiculous one we have now. You all need to learn to accept change and maybe adapt to a work environment that may not be 100% suited to your specific opinion, but instead is intended to benefit students.

I thought the block schedule would be certain classes each day, making the days shorter and/or giving us more time to sleep. That's false apparently.

don't understand why the schedule needs to be made tougher than it already is for teachers and students

I do not want the block schedule next year at all I think students should have a say in this.
