[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This sequential requirement from the state makes about as much sense as the VPMI math proposals that failed. The sequential requirement was put in place by people who don't know anything about schools and teens. The requirement completely removes the opportunity for kids to sxplore new things and makes their electives, which should be their funnand enriching classes, into a chore. [b]Let the kids use their electives to find themselves, be it taking more science classes, or dabbling into very different things by jumping between guitar class, beginning drawing, a computsr class and theater.[/b][/quote] I agree wholeheartedly, as an (old) FCPS grad who did just that. I wonder if they instituted this requirement in deference to college admissions, thinking colleges want to see kids with a passion or commitment for a particular thing, be it theater, photography, journalism, etc. [/quote]
