[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For our HS  - that the college counseling office will limit the number of colleges that you can apply to.  That certain classes are restricted in class size because of "equipment" issues and your child won't get the electives they want because of that.[/quote]

Aren't all classes restricted in size? No one would want a 40 person class. Kids aren't guaranteed their first choice electives anywhere.[/quote]

You can EASILY go through these high schools having never received your top 3 choices for any English or History class.   Then you're paying $56K for super specialized stuff that your particular kid doesn't care about:  a year of Asian history or a year of Shakespeare.  My history loving kid is having to take [b]African American Culture as a history class[/b] (which I'm sure will be great but this kid would have killed for a spot in an actual history class). [/quote]

African-American history is American history, so your kid is taking an actual history class.[/quote]

Exactly. Thank you for calling this out [/quote]

I believe the point is that a culture class and a history class are not the same thing, certainly not to colleges tha require a set number of history classes, as opposed to social studies.[/quote]
