Agen Posted November 12, 2004 Share Posted November 12, 2004 Electives = subjects? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TK-8252 Posted November 12, 2004 Author Share Posted November 12, 2004 Originally posted by Agen_Terminator Electives = subjects? I see you're not familiar with the U.S. educational system. Electives are classes that you choose to have, not forced. They're not basic classes like math, english, science, and social studies. They're stuff like art, shop, computer programming, home ecc, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IG-64 Posted November 12, 2004 Share Posted November 12, 2004 Originally posted by Rogue15 **** school. That sounds intelligent. I see you're not familiar with the U.S. educational system. Nor I. Well i'm homeschooled so I don't have these so-called electives. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MennoniteHobbit Posted November 12, 2004 Share Posted November 12, 2004 Euchre and Chess (seriously!), Piano Keyboarding, and a Gateway to Tech class. Don't even ask me what the last one is. You probably have never heard of it before. Yet it is cool. Going to be at least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Jed Posted November 12, 2004 Share Posted November 12, 2004 This year, the electives I've taken so far are American Music Theatre and History of Rock Music. For the rest of the year, I took Physics and Pre-Calculus as an elective so I don't have to take it next year :X Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boba Rhett Posted November 13, 2004 Share Posted November 13, 2004 You consider school to be, "****king around"? They go to school now so they can work later and actually making a living wage from doing so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ya know, just because you're homeschooled doesn't mean that you can't get a diploma. They have correspondence high schools that let you graduate with a diploma and you don't have to do a stinking GED. I took one out of Scranton, PA, got to work at my own pace, graduate a year before most kids, and I've got a diploma. Now, I realize that this doesn't help you much now, but there are enough homeschooled kids around here that it should really be mentioned. If anyone wants more info, just drop me a PM. And about electives: American Literature PC Specialist Catering/Gourmet Cooking World Geography English Communication Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rogue15 Posted November 13, 2004 Share Posted November 13, 2004 no. I'm not referring to the kids who are IN school. i'm talking about half the idiots who are just out of school who don't do a good job, and don't get reprimanded for slacking.

Astrotoy7 Posted November 13, 2004 Share Posted November 13, 2004 Originally posted by Rogue15 **** school. *blows trumpet* I agree even though I got a very pleasing tertiary entrance score and have a bachelors and masters degrees nowdays, I *hate* the whole ritual of school and academia... but, its a necessary evil, either that, or join the glitterati on unemployment benefit, or the gifted minds that make up the armed forces mtfbwya Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ImmolatedYoda Posted November 13, 2004 Share Posted November 13, 2004 I pity da fool dat says **** da school! Not really, I just thought that sounded cool. Anyway, I'm a senior in high school taking AP Computer Science (most likely going to take the AB exam) and Latin III. I've basically only taken languages and tech classes as electives in high school...Spanish II-IV, German I, Latin I-II (well, only one semester of each). And then Keyboarding and Intro to Tech IA if you count those as tech classes . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
