Block scheduling vs 7 period day

Our high school has 9 periods of 42 minutes each.

Most students have classes 8-9 periods a day. Many do not take lunch so they can max out in classes. This increases homework also as they take way to many classes and some electives. Lots of AP’s.

Both of my kids hate a lunch period so they opt for classes instead or volunteer somewhere in the school instead. One skipped lunch ever day and the other eats lunch during class.

Don’t know what was wrong with 8 periods with mandatory lunch that we had way back when.
