 How can I help my child to do better in Mr. Rodgers' classes?
Make sure that they are actually doing their reading and not just telling 
you 
they are doing their reading. Are they taking any notes in class? Ask them 
to 
show them to you. Pick up their text and ask them some random questions over 
the chapter. How did they do? Students today have a multitude of 
distractions 
at their disposal. The most helpful thing that you can do is to help them 
take the time to do their studies and to make sure that they actually do 
their studies.

 How does the rotating schedule work?
It is not as complicated as it looks. You have seven periods but you only 
attend six classes in a day. The schedule rotates. For example: on "A" day 
you have periods 1-6 but no seven. The next day ("B" day) you start with 7 
then go 1-5. Then on the next day ("C") you start with 6, then 7, then 1-4. 
The schedule continues the rotation until you come back around to "A" day 
again (Seven different schedules, "A" through "G").
