[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I didn't care what my child chose! It's an elective! Sometimes kids choose them because they are interested and sometimes it's because they have friends in that elective. In the grand scheme of things who cares they're the ones who have to go to that class everyday not you.[/quote]

Maybe things were different when and where your child was choosing electives. And students should be able to pick some electives just out of pure interest and fun. But if you look at what PPs above are saying, the choices can definitely matter in high school, especially when students later apply to certain colleges or programs; and it and can matter in middle school if the student wants to pursue certain paths through high school.

OP's child is only moving from sixth grade to seventh this fall, so the choices are not a big deal now, but OP and spouse and DD together will need to look at elective choices in coming grades, when it actually can matter in the larger scheme of things.[/quote]
