[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Well, there's something that wasn't even on my radar, and looks to be a PITA. Exactly how many slots do kids have to take electives in the first place? Is foreign language considered an elective?[/quote]

Foreign Language is an elective but doesn't count in this sequential calculation.

So my kid could have taken AP CS A in 9th but did programming in 9th and then AP CS A in 10th to meet this requirement. Was it a waste of time? Yes. Did it satisfy the requirement? Also, yes.  [/quote]

Your kid didn't have to do that. My kid took AP CS as a sophomore and then Adv Data Structures as a senior. That satisfies the requirement. My other kid took CS Programming and then Game Design. That worked too.

Our counselor was very clear that core classes and foreign languages do not count. But band/choir/orchestra count... even if they start at the highest level in 9th grade. They are still taking sequential years of band/choir/orchestra.[/quote]

Our schools doesn't have Game Design or Adv data Structures so yes he did. [/quote]
