[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]Don’t let the course catalog on the Herndon High website fool you.[b] If only 10 kids want to take a class, they will drop it. [/b]Also, if a small number of kids want a class, there may only be one offered at a specific time that may conflict with another important class. Less variation, less options. Evening out the FARMs kids would help everyone.[/quote]

This is true in every school in Fairfax County.  And, if an AP class is full and there are only 10 more who want it--they don't add a second class and those ten don't get in.  I know this for a fact. And, DD who went to the largest school in FCPS had to drop a class because of a conflict between the two she wanted.  This is not limited to Herndon.  Just because there are choices does not mean everyone gets those choices.

I suspect it also happens at Langley.

So you may have a scheduling conflict at Langley, but Langley is offering courses like Chinese, Japanese and Russian that no one can take at Herndon, and Herndon does not offer any foreign languages not available at Langley.  [/quote]
