[quote=Anonymous]Where are these schools that allow classes during lunch? Lunch at my kids' school was 25 minutes and class periods were at least 90 minutes. Sometimes lunch is in the middle of another class (i.e., they leave and come back) It doesn't matter how driven your kid is - unless they've mastered the space-time continuum, it can't be done. It's not a sign of laziness. I doubt that top colleges "punish" kids for committing to band, orchestra or theater for four years. And these are not "after school" activities. You can't just take band after school if you need to take 16 AP classes to appease your parents. It's a regular class with a real teacher and everything! There was no "shop" class at their high school, because FCPS changed the name of their shop class to "STEM Engineering" and weighted it to honors level so people would take it. I think they learned some CAD drawing and my son made a wooden clock lol. [/quote]
