[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Agreed on Spanish.  I have heard that French was getting there but Spanish is grueling for no good reason.

[b]For summer classes i would suggest econ over PE.  Having PE in the middle of the day can be a lifestyle enhancer for a lot of kids.  Econ in the middle of the day is not.  It's not that there is anything wrong with econ but it's not a break in your day the way PE can be unless you get that one PITA PE teacher.[/quote][/b]

+1 for this. The school suggested keeping PE in the schedule freshman year for reasons mentioned above. It was a great “brain break” while adjusting to TJ rigor. Daughter took PE over the summer before sophomore year. [/quote]

It is a great brain break…unless you end up with the teacher who thinks it should be as rigorous as other TJ classes with tests and homework.

Some of the Spanish teachers are leaving/retiring. We’ll see if that changes the rigor there.

Spanish is another good option for summer classes right now.

That one PE teacher isn't horrible but you are not going to get the break you were hoping for.  It's about as much work as econ, maybe a little bit more[/quote]
