Potential Articles for Editing

 * 1) Article #1 Title: Block scheduling
 * a) Notes
 * i) Add sources and additional information based off of the resources I have found.
 * ii) I have found errors that can be corrected in the section A/B Block Scheduling.
 * 1. This selection seems to be confusing the A/B Block scheduling program with the 4x4 block scheduling program.
 * iii) There seems to be a major error in the 4x4 Block Scheduling section. I have two sources that contradict what is published on the page.
 * 2. This selection does not describe the typical 4x4 schedule that I have come across during my research. I will need to look at the source provided and verify this information.
 * 2) Article #2 Title: School organizational models
 * a) Notes
 * i) Add a section based on the information I have found in my resources.
 * 3) Article #3 Title: Secondary education in the United States

 * Article #1: Block scheduling
 * A/B block scheduling
 * One variety of block scheduling, called A/B block scheduling, is shown in the example table. Instead of taking six classes every day, students attend three classes every other day and spend double the amount of continuous time in each class. Students can take 4 classes during one semester and another 4 the next. The example given reverts to a six-period day on Fridays.

 * 4x4 block scheduling
 * A method called 4×4 block scheduling splits the academic year into quarters, and uses a four-period day. This leaves eight slots available for classes during a semester (four classes in each of two quarters).  The 4×4 method is somewhat more flexible in that students can take two sequential classes (such as Algebra 1 and 2) in the same semester (in different quarters), which would not be possible on a traditional schedule. This also allows students in their final year to fail a third-quarter class but repeat it in the fourth quarter in order to graduate.
