Block scheduling is a component part of education reform. Under this component, schools move from a five or six period day to a three or four period day, decreasing the number of periods and lengthening the time in each period.

Block scheduling is touted, too, as giving the child more time to concentrate and more time with each "subject" (unit theme) taught.
