[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kid started Health B today. They said they've been learning the same stuff since 6th grade. Even doing the same assignments.

What a waste. Either make it really meaningful (not sure how...it would have to be done in-person to be meaningful so they can do stuff like really learn CPR/put a condom on a banana/stuff like that) or just drop it. Replace it with a finance class or driver's ed. Or even a free period so the kids could have a study hall (having time in their schedules for a study hall would do so much more to help their stress than a class talking about ways to reduce stress)[/quote]

I hate to break it to you, but most kids don't use study hall to study unless the school/teachers force them. Otherwise, it becomes a free period where they goof off with friends or spend that time on their phone consuming content or playing on social media.[/quote]

It's not necessarily a bad thing for teenagers to have the ability to have that kind of break. Us adults with office jobs don't necessarily work for 8 hours straight.

When I was in high school, I was often finishing my math homework due in the next period during study hall. Helps to have that time during the day when afterschool is filled with extra-curriculars. [/quote]
