The new schedule and format of 9th grade is kind of better because it's your choice to go to a class and if not your grade go's down.Also it's easier to work and get help.From my view the teachers  like it better.I like it a little better and not that much,i like it because you can pick the classes and order they go in and i don't like it because i miss a couple classes because they be full or i mix up the time with classes.I LIKE DOLPHINS.
