It’s one of those classes where repetition is important. Not for learning the basics of the content but applying it when important. ImThink of it like a public health campaign For instance it’s one thing to talk about sex, drugs and alcohol in 7/8th grade. That just gives you background info. It’s another thing toreinforce those concepts with different data/depth at 17/18 in 11th/12th grade when the situations are likely to be more applicable in their life. Another example, dating violence isn’t as relevant to 6-8th graders, but much more relevant 10-12th.

So I can see the theory behind a year class that is suppose to be broken up between early highschool and late highschool. The implementation/curriculum/and delivery…. Well not sure that has been done well.

I think you meant to post this on the other thread, which was about Health classes.

I don’t know about every year, but it was late March last year, too. Makes any sort of summer planning difficult.

Does anybody know what “no repeats for credit” means on the course listing? My son needs to retake honors geometry A due to earning a D first semester. Does this mean he isn’t eligible? I was initially going to register him in person at his HS but online fits better with his schedule.

Talk to the counselor, but you are looking for grade improvement, not "repeat for credit"

If taking a class for grade improvement, does it replace the semester grade? Is one grade earned for the class, replacing both of the student's quarter grades?
