[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Newbie HS parent here- why do they need/what do they do with open periods? I saw someone mention their kids in sports need them- but aren't sports after school? Or are these kids having a morning practice? Things are WAY more complex than when I was in school lol.[/quote]

High school sports generally take place outside of class time. Sometimes meets or games might be earlier, but there is no reason a student would miss school regularly. I am assuming the person who referenced extra time for sports means their kid is in a club sport that takes a lot of time. So, the kids can use the free period to do their homework since they don’t have as much time in the evening. At our school, I believe only seniors are allowed to have a free period.

Mine took summer PE because the number of requirements for the advanced diploma meant they wouldn’t be able to explore different electives. We all agreed. It was more important to try different courses before trying to figure out what they wanted to study in college. If your kid plans on taking AP science and foreign language all the way through high school, there’s not a lot of wiggle room.[/quote]

Thank you!

I can why this issue is further compounded by the ridiculous requirement that the kids have sequential electives now. HS should be a time to explore different electives, meanwhile they're stressing 8th graders out saying their electives should reflect what they [b]want to do in HS.[/b][/quote]

Sorry- beyond HS.[/quote]
