[quote=Anonymous]The realistic problem with 4 years of fine arts at TJ is sophomore year for more kids. Freshmen: PE, foreign lang, IBET (3 period English, Design Tech and Bio), math, Plus elective (that's band) Sophomore: PE, Foreign Lang, CHUM(Chemistry, English, Social Studies), Math, Elective (again band) But, you have to take CS before the end of 10th grade. So, unless you finish your third year of foreign lang. in 9th (and agree with PPs-- DON'T assume 2 years of MS language will place you in 3rd year Spanish or French), you have to either: 1. Drop band for a year to get CS in, 2. Do PE over the summer (which is supposed to be awful) or 3. Do CS over the summer. Which kids certainly do. But it's a bad way to do a foundational TJ level STEM class. If you every want to take it further, you will have issues. Now, if your kid just wants to check it off and survive and never do CS again, it may be fine. But if they want to go further? That's tough. [/quote]
