What were your requirements? How many electives were you allowed to take? We had a 4X4 system....4 years of English, Social Studies, Science, and Math. 2 Years of PE. 7 classes total, so if you took PE, you had 2 electives, and if you were in a non-PE year you had 3. I was never athletic, so I only took the PE that was required, but we had so few options for electives anyway. We had choir, band, home ec, Shop and Agriculture, Spanish, Art, Photography (which was independent study). My freshman year they added German, and they also added a computer lit course that didn't last long. And twice they added a speech and debate class that only lasted for a year and then they dumped it. I think that was it...some kids could sign up as a Teacher's Aid, but they didn't actually get credit for it. We got to decide for ourselves which classes we wanted to take...I don't remember if my mom had to sign off on them or not. I think maybe she did for me to not do the enrichment program...they REALLY wanted everyone to do it, but I want to say it was at the same time as choir maybe? They had really been trying to kill off the music program, so that would have been one way to do that.

My kids don't get electives at all right now. All the kids in a program take the same classes. Next year, E gets to have more control over her subjects. She chooses a profile, which is just basically a general area. Either technological sciences/math, or Natural Sciences/math, Culture and arts, or culture and economy. You take the classes that are related to that area, and then you can choose a couple of electives. So E will do the Tech, Science/math, and do biology as her elective, and she's debating whether to do Informatica (we think it's like computer programming and web design, etc) or the tech research and design or both as her other elective(s). And they still have to take English, Dutch, and one other language. We have to give feedback about it, and she gets advice, but really the choice is hers. A will have to choose his profile next year.

4 English, 3 math (4 was recommended if you were on college track) 2 foreign language (could be done in middle school, but recommended to be done in high school if you were on college track), 3 Social Studies, 3 science, 1 fine arts, 1 PE, 1 engineering (yeah, no idea why), 1/2 health, 1/2 economics.

I actually took: 4 English (2 AP), 4 math, 4 foreign language (AP Spanish), 3 Social studies (one AP), 3 science, 3 fine arts, 1 PE, 1 engineering (which FYI, I sucked at, most of the assignments were partner ones and I got a partner who would help me out with it, so I got an A), 1/2 health, 1 economics. I took the AP track. Which the regular one I think was a good class because they taught things like personal finance and how to do taxes (I know), but I got six college credits out of the AP class.

My car went in for servicing (oil change, tire rotation, front end alignment, which I told them three times it needed before they believed me...). I got a call an hour later..."We can put you in a brand new 2021 Civic". Me:... "I don't need one; my car only has 12,000 miles on it." "I know, that's why I'm calling!" I almost hung up on the guy...😂
