What the heck is a homeroom? I’m watching this movie and I just realized I’ve heard the word a million times but, what’s its purpose?
Someone please tutor an spanish student who doesn’t know shit.
Thanks!
It’s the room students usually go into in the morning to take attendance before classes actually start, before first period. A way to ease into the day haha.
They don’t take attendance in the other classes?? And how long are you there for?? Are the people in you homeroom considered your class?? Like do you go all to the same one or from there everyone goes their separate way??
Making your timetables has to be awful…
Okay, so, first off, it never occurred to me that people not in the U.S. don’t have homeroom. I suck. Anyway.
Usually homeroom is where general class announcements are made and attendance is taken. It’s typically alphabetical. Then you split up and go your separate ways; the rest of the classes are often arranged according to academic ability (though not always) and electives. Depending on your school, sometimes you have the same classes in the same order every day, or sometimes you have a rotating schedule where some days you don’t have a given class but you have an extra long period of another class. And yes, making timetables/schedules is a bitch.
It’s also used for congregational purposes: special events, fire drills, assemblies, etc. it’s way easier to tell everyone to ‘Go to your home room for the presentation’ vs alternatives. It’s a ‘home base’ concept for students.
See, I don’t start with home room. I have this end of the day class called advisory. Served he same purpose. But it’s just st the end of them day
we don’t have a separate time or class for homeroom, but our a-block class (first period on a monday, then rotating) serves the same purposes. Report cards and such are handed out during a-block so the school can make sure everyone gets what they need without trying to figure out all the different schedules. We take attendance in every class so a-block isn’t really any different.
