Pooka: Her surgeon has down that she'll miss between 6-8 weeks of school. Our school is also on the block scheduling.
The Biology class I could understand due to the supposed large amount of lab work. When she does take this class next semester, if I find out there's very little lab involved, I'm going to be very upset.
I'm still upset about the Algebra II class. Cheyenne flew through Geometry with an A (along with every other math class she's taken since entering school).
This alone is going to limit the amount of math she can take prior to entering college.
My senior year of HS we had a combined class of US History for the 1st semester and then our choice of Psychology or Sociology for 2nd semester. But that was back in the days when you had 6 classes a semester and classes lasted an entire year, not one semester. Their scheduling is just like college. She is taking World History right now, so she's fulfilling the pre-req at the same time that she's taking Psychology.
Lol about the Creative Writing class. That was mentioned as a possible elective. Cheyenne's weakest classes are her English classes so she wasn't thrilled about this one at all.
Sherie: Our school district is one of the largest ones in AZ. I think the resistance was primarily due to it being the start of the year. And, everyone in the meeting kept blaming the state's cutbacks as part of the reason. I think AZ is near dead last when it comes to education spending.
At least Chey is happy with her schedule. Not so happy about the math class but happy she won't have to deal with that teacher. She told me from the first day of school that she didn't really care for that teacher.
I did get a phone call today from her English teacher. He's great and has his own website he's set up to help his students whenever they need assistance. Chey really loves this guy.
We already know her French III (honors) teacher from last year and he knows of her condition and has been a great teacher to work with.
One very good thing about the meeting that Chey wanted confirmed is that she's on track to graduate a full year early. Even with this set back on her schedule, she's still on her way. She'll be entering college at 16!
