What are A and B days?
School days at Martin High School alternate between A and B days, each with 4 classes. This is called block scheduling. The first day of school is a C day, letting students meet in all their classes. The next day is A day, then B day, and so on. If we miss an A day, the next school day will be a B day and vice versa.
