[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kid will be taking Health A in the second session. Can anyone tell me if they’re required to have cameras on during the synchronous classes? And is it a participatory class or mostly the teacher lecturing? We’ll be out of town for the first two classes and she’s planning to log on but trying to figure out the logistics of what will be expected.  [/quote

The classes are not the issue. She needs to plan to spend a couple of hours a day, every day working on assignments, which isn’t ideal if you are on vacation. It’s not difficult but it’s time consuming and there are 4-5 assignments every single day (including weekends).[/quote]

Yeah, I’m the one that posted above about this ruining kids summer.  My daughter took health A over the summer a while ago and it was such a painful slog.  I felt awful for her stuck at the kitchen counter filling out stupid pointless sheets.  I’m really not sure what to tell my rising 10th grader—he really doesn’t want to give up a class and refused to register for it next year but I hate the idea of him giving up his summer for six weeks of that misery.  The MC DEciption sounds better but I’m not really sure how he would commute up there from HS every day.[/quote]

He can take half for two summers so he’s only committed to 3wks per summer.[/quote]

Yes but it’s still challenging to fit that in.  Like this summer he could do it because he had two weeks of Boy Scout camp and one week fell in each of the two sessions.  Next summer he had a long planned Boy Scout backpacking trip in New Mexico during the second session and the only time we can take a summer vacation is in June which will be the first session.  This one dumb requirement is just really stressing me out.  And the idea that we’re telling kids to give up 3 weeks of a 10 week summer for half of their HS life in order to do pointless busywork is …..less than ideal.  The other choice is telling him to drop AP Econ, which he doesn’t want to do.  I know I’m irrationally upset by this but it just seems like such dumb bureaucracy.[/quote]
