Happy Medium

Class times seem to be an issue between students and teachers. Some teachers claim that their period times are too short and they cannot get the material out to their students. I can agree with that statement because I feel that sometimes the class is cut short in a middle of an important segment and staying over to get the rest of the information down is usually not an option because of other classes that are starting in ten minutes and students sometimes have to leave immediately to make it to the next class.
So what to do? If we eliminate Friday classes and have 1 hour and 15 minute classes Monday through Thursday the class times will be extended and the teachers can get more material in to the students.
But what will the students think of this change. I personally enjoy 50 minute classes to those of an1 hour and 15 minute class. Some of the classes that I am taking are well-made for a longer class such as my TV classes. But my history class just seems too long; I would prefer a shorter history class because after an hour I feel like banging my head against the wall.
If we cannot reach a compromise I believe that core classes, such as English and History, should be offered in more convenient time slots.
