Why isn't Junior figuring out this for himself? Ugh. We are raising children who cannot function in the world by themselves as adults because they are never required to do so! Please let your children figure this out for themselves and LET THEM FAIL. It will benefit them in the long run.


I’m sick of hearing this pap. There are many, many adolescents who will fail, continue to fail into adulthood, and never recover from that failure if left to their own devices. Do is all a favor and stfu if you don’t have one of those adolescents.

I would hope that a junior would have an idea of what he is interested in. My DS is taking a computer science class.

How impressive. Middle schoolers get to select what? 1, maybe 2 electives out of how many?


NP here. Ours get to pick 4 out of probably 25.

Why don't you answer the question or STFU? No one is interested in your sanctimony.
