My kid is taking that class! She's also in an Econ seminar on Why Can't I Buy More Eyeshadow Pallets.

14 yo: graduated from Who Cares Shoulder Shrug, with thesis in Grumble-Mumble.

19 yo: has nice job, and puts effort in "Morning Dawdling and Asking Mom for Lift". I am requiring henceforth a refresher in "Here's Your Bike".

16 and just taking the Intro course? Sounds like they're pretty behind; you should look into tutoring ASAP. My 16yo is already taking Advanced A$$hole Studies (dual enrollment), and also publishing original research on Pissy-Voice Communication.
