<p>At my school, the Board of Education felt a need to require students to take six electives. At first, I didn't think much of it, however, when scheduling about a week ago, I realized that if I were to take my planned out schedule, then I wouldn't be able to graduate. Apparently, electives are only buisness, music, and arts (including video, woods, etc.), meaning that Buisness math is an elective , but Creative Writing isn't. I'm looking toward an Englsih major in college, so I want to puncuate that. I'm taking Drama next year in place of what I was going to take (Psycology in Literature). Should I try fighting the school on this one?</p>
<p>Yeah, this kind of thing is annoying and unfair. While not required, counselors at our school seriously dislike it when students don't take electives, I try not to be abrasive, but I want to take only honors/AP classes, why should they dictate what I am to take.</p>
<p>well we require 5.5 credits of electives, but there's so many choices, even I, a non-art, non-business, non-musician person has plenty to choose from. And foreign langauge counts as well, along with an non-mandatory core classes (like if you take creative writing on top of the 4 required classes or you're on the newspaper staff) so not even I can complain about electives at my school</p>
<p>Creative Writing counts as a core class, as does not fit into buisness, music, and arts elective requirement. It just annoys me to no end-there's nothing I really like out of those categories.</p>
