[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A big cluster for 2025 kids who have already planned out their courses and now have to figure out how to incorporate a semester class into a course load of year long classes. Kids have jobs and other priorities mover the summer. They really need to make this optional for 2025 at this point. [b]My daughter already taking a useless class to balance out health A and now has to find another useless class to balance out health B.[/b] Most kids would have done A and B as a full yet but too late to do that for many.[/quote]
That was her fault for not waiting until 11th grade to take Health. You knew it was a full year requirement for class of 2025 in 8th grade, prior to registering for any HS classes.[/quote]

Not for the class of 2025. This was added well after they they registered for freshman classes, and B wasn’t ready during their (current) sophomore year. They had no way to plan for this. [/quote]
You are incorrect. In the middle of 8th grade, the graduation requirements for that particular graduating class are published and made available prior to 9th grade registration. They do not change after that, for that particular class.
https://www.montgomeryschoolsmd.org/curriculum/graduation-requirements.aspx shows that the class of 2027 requirements are already up.

The full year health requirement begins with class of 2025 (first year 9th grade 2021-22). This means it was published in November of 2020.

You are correct that B was not ready for this year, but that was known two years ago. Your daughter could have waited one more year to take Health as a full year and taken a different full year elective this year.[/quote]

Sorry, but that is not accurate in this case. The state board made the change to the Health requirement in May of 2021, effective with the class of 2025. These students would have already requested their 2021-22 9th grade classes four months prior to that.

As a 2025 parent, I cannot claim to be in the loop about what the state board of education is doing, but I was shocked by this new requirement when it rolled out.  Also because I do not think any of the 3 years of Middle School or Health A Health Education has been valuable.[/quote]
