My Senior Classes (High School)

[BamaLefty]

Just picked up my last schedule in high school. In case you're wondering, we have 4 classes per semester at 90 minutes each. So we are basically getting the same amount of material in a shorter time span.

1st Semester

1) Government/Economics
2) College Calculus
3) Speech & Drama (taught by an MA liberal- seriously! YAY!)
4) Basketball

2nd Semester

1) Anatomy & Physiology
2) College English
3) Home-Ec
4) Basketball

Are there any DU tutors in the house? :D

1. never mind the classes.......

tell us about the girls! We love high school girls you know!!

[UrbScotty]

2. It must be asked: Since when is B-ball a CLASS?

Sorry, I have to ask.

4. In my school they actually have a weight-lifting class - no kidding

In the neighboring district they have three levels, with the third level having 'honors' classification.

:wtf:

[JohnKleeb]

5. We had that too, only it was a phys ed elective

[Left_Winger]

6. Did it carry an 'honors' status?

In my state our GPA in on a 4.0 scale, but an honors class carries a 5.0 status.

As I teach German, levels 1-4, with 3 and 4 being genuine honors classes, this really irritates me.
I'm not alone either. The English, Math and Science teachers are in agreement with this point of view.

7. They had one weightlifting class at my school, IIRC. (nt)

[BamaLefty]

9. It Always Has Been

For a while now at least. We start practicing at 1:30 and go until about 5:30 or 6 o'clock. :crazy:

[proud2BlibKansan]

19. For the entire school year?

Sorry but I am an old fashioned elementary school teacher and I can't imagine spending 4 hours a day practicing basketball for an ENTIRE school year. My dad was also a high school basketball coach, so it's not like I know nothing about basketball.

It saddens me when I think of all the other things (like other classes) you could be doing instead of playing basketball for 4 hours every day. Do you speak a foreign language? Any vo-tech classes you could take?

3. Home ec?

:woohoo:

I can help with econ and calculus. Not so good with English and anatomy.


Basketball?

[Lavender Brown]

8. I'll help with English and Home Ec, minus the sewing

Do they still do that in Home Ec?

[BamaLefty]

10. LOL

They actually call this "Parent and Child Dynamics." There is no sewing, I've already had that branch of Home-Ec. :puke:

[ScreamingMeemie]

11. You have done this all wrong. The last half of your senior year should be

taken up with Underwater Basketweaving...not anatomy...never anatomy. You need to take something like, say...oh typing. Do they even offer typing anymore?

[WCGreen]

12. Here. Read this to fuck with your Econ Teacher......

And This

Ask some pointed questions and then yell and scream when you find out he or she has a conservative agenda to brainwash the youth of America....

that'll be fun.....

[ZombieNixon]

13. Ask me about Calculus, I can probably do it

After two years of college level calc, I can solve complex differential equations like a robot, but I have to think about it to count to ten. If your school is like mine was, you will see more letters in your Calc class than you will in English.

Just being on DU, you should do fine in Gov/Econ. I would post questions on DU and get more than enough answers in a few minutes. Thanks, DU!

I can't see speech and drama being taught by a conservative. I live in Redneckville, and all the music and fine-arts teachers in my HS were aredent liberals.

Now, you have start thinking about college. Seriously, start applying in October if you haven't already.

[BamaLefty]

14. Yeah,

I'll go to Univ of Alabama.

ZombieNixon--- putting you down on the list for tutors. :evilgrin:

[ZombieNixon]

15. Seriously, PM me if you need a contact

[BamaLefty]

16. Cool-- I'll Keep That In Mind

:hi:

[Mutley]

17. I can help with English.

Calculus, no. No way. I did take anatomy in HS so I might be able to help there. I remember a little of it.

[LeftyMom]

18. If you ever need somebody to look over a speech or essay, you can PM me.

I'd be glad to help and that's where my talents lie. I might be able to help with home ec questions, too.

20. Interesting... looks more like a college schedule.

I think the 90 minutes classes are a good idea though. Mine were all 42 minutes. Hard to fit much in...

My schedule was....

English 12 (world lit)
Physics
Calculus
Social Studies 12: Goverment
German
Study Hall
Gym
Study Hall
