[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't understand how a school has a schedule that leads you to have to make this choice? How many periods classes can they take per semester?[/quote] You can take 7 periods per semester. In theory, that would let you take 5 "core" academic classes each year - English, math, science, social studies, and foreign language. Then you could take band/orchestra every year, and use the 7th slot for one year each of PE, health, required tech credit, and another elective. So it is possible to do both music and language every year. One difficulty is for students in special programs (like magnet or project lead the way or IB or others) that have specific electives that take up additional space. My kid decided against some special program options in order to preserve flexibility for band. Or there could be problems with wanting to take an AP science class that is a double-period class, for example.[/quote]
