I have heard many different opinions from teachers on the usefulness of the 5th block, which is 45 minutes. Most teachers say it is a complete waste of time, and students use it as a study (napping) block. However, administrators tout it as valuable remediation for students who have not passed certain portions of the AHSGE. I have asked students opinion on the matter, and most say they either do nothing, or they catch up on their homework. Please share your experiences with 5th block, and whether or not this is a good use of valuable school time.
