[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]That is crap. And completely unfair to kids involved in the arts.  Particularly in the IB program, but across all the schools.   There will be a mutiny if they don’t allow this.   [/quote]

What does this mean? How does this impacts kids in the arts (not being contrary, I just dont understand).[/quote]

It’s often hard for kids who want to do IB or AP sciences (which require 2 blocks) to get in all the requirements and take band or chorus all 4 years. Summer PE is a way to get back a block or two for music. And FCPS allows it as does LCPS. So there will be a lot of complaints if APS doesn’t. Starting with me. 😀[/quote]

This doesn't make sense because the AP sciences that require 2 periods aren't allowed to be taken until junior year and the PE requirement is only for freshman and sophomores. IB sciences are two years, rather than two periods.

I agree people want more flexibility and that's why they take it in the summer, but the flexibility isn't for AP/IB science classes.[/quote]

+1 DD has done band all 4 years at W-L. The only thing she did in summer school was Econ & Personal Finance. She still has taken 2 IB science classes (IB Bio over 2 years, IB Environmental as a double block senior year), did FL through level 5, and could have taken a flex period in senior year but opted for an art class for fun.

Its for students who want a second elective before they are through with the 2 years of PE. Ie: Band and Art. [/quote]
