[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Daughter just finished up the summer session of Health B at WJ, and learned absolutely nothing new. According to her, some assignments are near identical to the ones from Health A, and the content being taught is nearly exactly the same. Was hopeful she might learn something new, but honestly not surprised. Teacher was disappointed as well in the lack of new content in the curriculum. Waste of everyone's time to have a whole extra semester required that teaches absolutely nothing new.[/quote]

Completely agree! Nothing new. I don't know why Maryland is requiring it... addition mental health content? additional content on opioids? It needs to go away.[/quote]

My understanding is it was supposed to be a way of reinforcing and going in more detail on content at a point when it is most relevant for kids during HS and teenage years.  But if they were going to require it one would think they would have considered how best to explore the topics in detail with kids.

I wonder if it’s better during the actual school year.[/quote]
