<p>My kids were told econ and gov are required by the state. I do what we are told to do, as the GC at school are pretty useless if you stray from ‘the plan.’ It may be that the econ is required because it contains the ‘financial readiness’ requirement. I guess other schools could put it into another class. Maybe it isn’t required, but they sure made it seem like they were.</p>
<p>There are also all kinds of required EOC exams now to get a Florida Scholars diploma, and since my kids didn’t even go to school in Florida when they took algebra or some of the other classes, did not take the EOC, they can’t get that diploma. They could go back and take them, but it wasn’t worth it.</p>
<p>However, the Bright Future requirements are pretty clear and worth it if you have the grades and scores to finish up any other requirements.</p>
