Letter: Blocking progress

Editor, Daily News:

Well, so much for the Collier County School Board's insistence on the modified block schedule, which boasted alternate-day classes in our high schools this past year.

Teachers told them it was terrible.

Students didn't like it and even parents complained — but the School Board members insisted that they were right.

So what did we get out of their schedule? Lower test scores and not one of our six high schools managed to get an A.

Who was right? The School Board or the outspoken majority?

What a crime that one of the most affluent counties in the state can't even come up with one A high school. I am appalled.
