I went through both block scheduling and the 7 classes a day schedule. Honestly, block scheduling was much much better. WE lost around 40 minutes more simply from all of the transitioning in between classes. In addition to that, it’s really not conducive to learning if you have only 45 minutes to pick up homework, take attendence, and pass out notes and such for the day. It was even worse in Orchestra… My school tried to compensate by creating double classes for Orchestra, Debate, and AP classes… but they ran out of teachers and space.
