Just a short rant about the school systems...
For next year my school district has to compensate for almost a six million dollar deficit. This means a bunch of staff and classes are being cut including AP Bio, Physics, French I, IV, and V, the school newspaper, and student government just to name a few. The only one that effects me is French V which was supposed to be CITS and the college credit is pretty much the only reason that I stayed in French past level two. We are however, adding MANDARIN CHINESE to the list of languages for next year. French 5 is being offered as an online course but I donno if i'm going to take it.
At my school there used to be a 7 peroid school day but a couple years ago it was cut down to 6, again, due to budget cuts. Some students couldn't get all the credits necessary to graduate because of scheduling issues, so there is something called zero hour which means that a couple classes are before school, and it's the same as the rest of the day, it just starts at 8:10 and the rest of the school starts at 9:05. Apparently all zero hour classes are being either eliminated or switched to a different hour in the day. It totally sucks and I am glad that next year is my senior year but I would rather be getting out of there now!!
