<p>So, I saw the post on required courses.
It reminded me of my school. Next year I have so many required courses I can't fit in the classes I want to take.</p>
<p>Is anyone else dealing with this? I have to fit in a tech credit, a pe credit, and health, when I hardly have the time in my school schedule for the classes I'm currently taking. </p>
<p>Uhg. Who else is angry?</p>
<p>Summer school for PE/health maybe?</p>
<p>^ Don't have the money/transportation.</p>
<p>Plus they don't offer PE over the summer, atlhough they do have it at the night school, no health at the night school though. </p>
<p>Oh well. I'll BS my way through. One of the councelors likes me at the least.</p>
<p>My counselor doesn't even know my name.</p>
<p>could you take it online, through a community college or pass out of the class? i know my school offers that for some classes.</p>
<p>FL strikes again with it's awesome FLVS : P</p>
<p>Oh, and here in Miami, MDC works wonders for classes that a school wouldn't offer. :)</p>
<p>Like 16 of our courses are already predetermined. We just have to take the AP version of what where possible.</p>
<p>All of the options here for online are out of price range, because only the struggling students get the FA- of course the student who actually cares gets the lame end of the deal, while the kids who don't care get it even easier. Hate my district. I really just want to hit one of the people in charge. </p>
<p>Summer school might end up being an option in the end, they seem to have one of my needed courses, but I don't have transportation. I have to take a full day of classes to get the transportation.</p>
<p>So true. I have to take an alternitive credit option for gym and health BECAUSE: there are only 6 periods a day, 4 core classes +a language +band/music. I will NEVER be able to fit it in!</p>
<p>^ Yes, horrible isn't it?</p>
<p>I wish my school did the test at the beginning of the year to test out of required courses. I could have tested out of the required English course easy. (SInce we've already gone over subject, predicate, etc. again this year.)</p>
<p>I took PE online because I don't want to waste my time in the gym when I ccould be taking some interesting AP classes. But I had to waste my time in health and communication art...</p>
<p>I hate them! in my school, we need to take Health for at least two years, and PE all four.
It sucks</p>
<p>Well, I was determined to take orchestra all four years. But orchestra takes up 1/4 of my schedule (essentially I was spending a whole year on orchestra), so I ended up taking online classes through CTD and a local program. I also did many summer and dual-enrollment classes to "make up for the losses." It'll work out. The only problem is spending money on pricey online classes. Thankfully, my parents were supportive.</p>
<p>same here.. i want to take out PE</p>
<p>I'm sorry! That sucks.</p>
<p>I got my requirements for graduation out of the way as fast as possible! (Starting in the 9th grade)
Now I just have the basic requirements like english, history, math, science, which I planned to take anyways so not that bad.</p>
<p>What does PE online consist of anyhow?</p>
<p>Personal Fitness online has like 8 chapters I believe they call modules..
You do 4 oral exams on information from the previous two chapters.
You turn in like 4 weird workout sheets which are sooo stupid and boring.
Then its just a bunch of assignments like powerpoints, answering questions, tests, etc. The physical aspect of it isn't that much, and most people cheat on their workouts anyways.</p>
<p>^ For the workouts do you just turn in a chart saying what you did?</p>
<p>I had that problem before but since I found out about FLVS I cleared up enough for me to take the classes I want. Took LMS, Personal Fitness and Fitness Lifestyle Design. And now just taking some classes for fun. So glad that it's free in Fl.</p>
<p>^I need to move to Florida... :[</p>
