10. Thank you. When I was in HS

Sep 2014

we had one period (50 min.) of English each day and one period of Social Studies. It was the same for all four years of my HS. (Also had a period of Math, Science, Spanish and one elective each day.)

How long is a typical Humanities class each day? Would it be equivalent to the two hours I had each day for English and Social Studies? I'm just wondering how much things have changed in almost 50 years.
