Looking for an easy elective to balance the hard AP courses for junior year, is sports medicine an easy elective? is there any HW?

Why isn't Junior figuring out this for himself? Ugh. We are raising children who cannot function in the world by themselves as adults because they are never required to do so! Please let your children figure this out for themselves and LET THEM FAIL. It will benefit them in the long run.

Why don't you answer the question or STFU? No one is interested in your sanctimony.

And, PS, my kid is a middle schooler who has already picked her own courses for next year.

I think it depends what they like. Also, different schools, even teachers, may be different. I’d suggest they talk to older kids at school for ideas.

How impressive. Middle schoolers get to select what? 1, maybe 2 electives out of how many?

I would hope that a junior would have an idea of what he is interested in. My DS is taking a computer science class.

I’m sick of hearing this pap. There are many, many adolescents who will fail, continue to fail into adulthood, and never recover from that failure if left to their own devices. Do is all a favor and stfu if you don’t have one of those adolescents.

Providing guidance to a kid who asks for it is called parenting.
