<p>Taking English, history, and science courses is part of EDUCATION, not a “waste” IMHO</p>
<p>Nobody is suggesting that those subjects are a waste. What’s being suggested is that a person’s schedule may not allow for duplication or taking additional courses in those subjects.</p>
<p>After taking and testing out of APUSH, APEuro, APWorld, many kids have had more than enough history education.</p>
<p>I prefer the way that my kids’ honors program worked. The student could choose the courses that interested them…challenging, mind-expanding, subjects…some involved current events, some involved research, etc.</p>
