For Class of 2025 taking Health A this summer

[Anonymous]

What is your student's plan to tackle Health B? Take it this upcoming Fall semester? Wait for next summer and take it in person? Wait to take it virtually after Junior year?

Are they not offering B online next summer (with the optional in-person component), the same way they’re offering A this summer? That was my kid’s understanding.

It will not be available online until summer 2024.

What’s your source for this? We were told it would be available in summer 2023.

I think there are Fall and Spring online enrollments - at least that's what I remember reading when I enrolled my DD for Health A this summer. They just weren't open yet.

When I asked the curriculum people, they said they will have it in person, but not in central summer school next summer. Could change.

I am hoping enough of the class of 25 parents complain vociferously, so that MCPS feels pressure to move up the timeline. The current plan is not workable.

Your point is taken, but it definitely will not get fixed if all the parents sit on their hands.

The whole extra half credit health makes me so mad. I absolutely hate a lot of what they teach in the course anyway.

Its workable. You just don't like it.

It's a stupid requirement, and the current planned roll-out for the class is a "pick your poison" model. MCPS is not making it easy. The choices are waste extra time over the summer in-person, waste a schedule slot and take it in school, or overload the schedule and take it online during the year. Even the Central Summer School classes cause conflicts with other, more valuable, ways to spend time in the summer.
