The high school I graduated from had (emphasis on had) a modular scheduling system. Each “mod” was 20 minutes and classes were generally one, two or three mods long. Classes were scheduled a lot like college classes, with gaps of time between.
As a result I rarely had to do my “homework” at home. I was usually able to get my homework done, or mostly done, at school during the breaks between classes. I absolutely loved that system.
Of course, some students opted to abuse the system so, naturally, it didn’t last. I don’t know when they reverted to lock step scheduling but, thankfully, it was after I was gone.
