If teachers already have a tough time teaching from the SOL handbook instead of teaching like they should in block scheduling, it'll only get worse if they make it 6 or 7 periods--shorter classes = less time to get stuff in. They ought to change the title from "teacher" to "SOL training technician" though. No one can truly teach anymore w/the SOL's. (Off topic I know but it needed to be said.)

Spend money to at least get some semblance of AC in the rooms--bigger fans, hotel style in-wall AC, etc...to at least lessen the problem.
