Although the findings do not indicate that participating in block schedules would produce negative outcomes for pupils across subjects, neither are the positive effects of block scheduling strong enough to recommend their implementation.
Courses like mathematics, foreign languages, and music may benefit from daily practice and suffer from a lack thereof.
