Ako time is group activities and paperwork

My only question for whoever came up with this schedule, is why can’t the same subject be held at the same time on different days? Even if you’re going to have different subjects on different days, most universities will have MWF classes and TH classes.

There are only 7 subjects: art, math, music, science, English, PE, and ako. But there are 4 sections in a day, so you could alternate between 4 subjects on MWF and 3 subjects on TH. But they just really wanted to fill up the time so bad, they did that instead. Did anybody tell them that you don’t need every single subject to be the same number of credit hours? Why not have electives? This is such a strange idea.

It’s like they solved a problem that doesn’t need to be solved in a way that it doesn’t have to be solved in. They could have 4 classes on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, 3 on Tuesday and Thursday, make them longer on Tuesday and Thursday to fill up the whole day, and then swap out the MWF with the TH classes every other week, then over two weeks everybody would get the same amount of time in every class, but the schedule would be so much simpler.

Because some students function better at different times of the day.

Like why couldn’t they just do

Week 1

Monday: Art, math, music, science

Tuesday: English, PE, ako, art

Wednesday: Art, math, music, science

Thursday: English, PE, ako, math

Friday: Art, math, music, science

Week 2

Monday: English, PE, ako, music

Tuesday: Art, math, music, science

Wednesday: English, PE, ako, science

Thursday: Art, math, music, science

Then put Art, music, and PE first because almost nobody is going to become an artist, a musician, or a professional sports player

Or you could split the last period between ako and English and just accept ako and English have 5.5 periods while everything else has 6 periods

Or they could also add a foreign language requirement, give everybody 8 classes, then it would be really simple
