Tea in the Garden

[Slenderman]

It's called early release around where I live.

 

[Sylver Hummingbird]

It's called "GET THE HECK OUT AND NEVER COME BACK" around here.

 

[Slenderman]

That's called going to college here.

 

[Milkapoke]

No, not like that.

I get to get out early every "A" Day at 1:00 pm because I have good grades.

 

[Slenderman]

Hey! You 2 guests! Yeah, you! You should join!

 

[Karisse]

No, not like that.

I get to get out early every "A" Day at 1:00 pm because I have good grades.

What's an "A" Day?

 

[Milkapoke]

Well, today was an "A" Day, tommorow's a "B" day, Wednesday is an "A" day, Thursday is a "B" day, Friday is an "A" day, and Monday is a "B" day.

Get it?

 

[Karisse]

Oh my, that's interesting. What is that system used for, besides (apparently) early dismissals?

 

[Sunburn]

Block scheduling, yeah!

Well, each class is about an hour and a half long, but you alternate classes every day so it doesn't get that boring. I mean, it's school, but you know what I'm getting at.

 

[Karisse]

I don't follow...can you give a specific example?

 

[Sunburn]

Like, on Monday, you'll have Math, an Elective class, Lunch/Elective, and then English. On Tuesday, you'll have History, an Elective class, Lunch/Elective (the same one as Monday), and then Science. Then on Wednesday, you'll have your Monday schedule again. On Thursday, you'll have your Tuesday schedule again, etc.

 

[Ghetsis-Dennis]

That's just like my college schedule.

 

[Karisse]

Oh wow, I don't know if I've ever heard of a schedule like that.

 

[Sunburn]

It's called block scheduling, instead of semester scheduling. You have your classes throughout the year, but it's every other day like I said it's alright, that's how it was for me in high school and I thought it was OK

 

[Karisse]

I'm used to semester scheduling, really...

 

[Sunburn]

Did you have that in high school? You must go to a charter or private school, at least where I live those are the schools with that type of scheduling.

 

[Karisse]

Yeah, I went to a charter/private school. An online one, to be precise.

 

[Sunburn]

Oh wow, an online school! That's pretty cool I haven't heard of that before. How was it?

 

[Karisse]

It was pretty good. Plus I didn't get bullied there like I did in public school.

 

[Sunburn]

That's good I can't stand bullies. There were a lot of those at my school :/
