But as mentioned above, freshmen just don't have that many options. Mine took band to get his fine art credits, and Spanish to get foreign language, which pretty much any college now requires. Beyond that it was all core required classes, with minor choices as to whether you take regular or accelerated or honors versions.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25811047.post-75321660592867383642009-01-08T12:38:00.000-06:002009-01-08T12:38:00.000-06:00My BF is a high school Career and Technical Develo...My BF is a high school Career and Technical Development teacher in Scottsdale and I could tell you stories that would blow your mind!!

When I worked in Eden Prairie, the high school coursebook was bigger than my college coursebook! But most 9th graders take a standard set of classes. You can decide to take band or choir, or defer your phy. ed. until later, or choose the foreign langauge, but you don't have that many options for choosing your core classes. And often, if your child takes band or choir, or has an accelerated class, their schedule is built around those classes, so it falls into place pretty easily.<BR/><BR/>It's not like college where you have to keep an eye on how many credits you're earning or if you have enough credits in one area. <BR/><BR/>Don't fret, sweetie.Mama Avahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16582791527980958931noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25811047.post-34200069748012981452009-01-07T10:55:00.000-06:002009-01-07T10:55:00.000-06:00I know what you're saying.

Our school hasn't sent out ANY information on this, so I suppose I should investigate it myself.andalucyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17362287992425261006noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25811047.post-21084823402245499002009-01-07T10:19:00.000-06:002009-01-07T10:19:00.000-06:00yeah, why don't they? :)yeah, why don't they? :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07170809912806245796noreply@blogger.com
