@1Wife1Kid Your ideal curriculum would not have suited me at all. Lack of studio art classes would have left me unprepared for portfolio review entering my BFA program. I wouldn’t have learned nearly as much working on my own with no instruction or critique. I took 4.5 years of art in HS (all that was offered) and I wish I could have taken more.
Your math sequence presupposes that all middle school kids complete Algebra 1-- not a bad goal, but not the norm around here. It’s considered an accelerated track and only offered to kids with a high score on the CogAT in K-5.
