My Schedule for next year

[Reflectionist]

W00t!!!

 

I got my schedule for next year.... what do you guys think?

I. Band

2. Algebra I

3. Aide [teaching n00blet 8th graders how to survive H.S. Band]

4. Chorale [it's Advanced Choir]

5. Senior English

6. Music Appreciation

7. Jazz Band

 

Gotta love senior year.... Yeeaaah.... Five music classes.

 

I don't need Algebra I, or Senior English, but since I slacked off and took easy classes to get my required math credit (Basic Math / Consumer Math) and took speech as my fourth english credit.... I figured I might as well take these to prep me for college...

 

The rest could also be called college prep too, since I'm going to take a percussion studies Major....

[Hahninator]

wtf Algebra 1 LOL

dude I took that in 8th grade

[djwakka]

Luckyy, my school really lacks in the music department even though theory was pretty nice

 

Next year i have...

 

Advanced Placement Photography I & II

Radio Broadcasting I & II

Screenwriting

Film and Literature

 

And the poopy classes... Calc, Physics boo

[Reflectionist]

Physics sounds fun, actually....

 

I'm a bit of a science nerd.... I studied photosynthesis out of my Biology teacher's college book when I was a freshman

 

And Mark - This is Missouri.... ranked 47th in the department of education, next to Louisiana, Arkansas, and Mississippi. So, don't blame me, blame the school.

 

And like I said earlier, I took stupid classes because I just wanted to get my credits... who has a plan for after H.S. when they're a freshman?

 

And I'm not much on the theory, the most I get is what I learn in Chorale and Band.... I took those this year, and didn't sightread anything in Chorale past 4-grouped sixteenths, every once in a while, as far as rythm goes...

 

Didn't discuss chord structure, or anything....

 

Just basic theory stuff.

 

that's what http://www.musictheory.net is for though

[KillMeImIrish]

 

And the poopy classes... Calc, Physics boo

 

 

amen.

 

and yeah. all those classes look my 3rd grade schedule.. not senior year in HS.

 

 

ok... so maybe i overexaggerated a little.. haha. more like.. 9th grade.

 

 

we have to have at least 4 maths to graduate... alg. 1 is what we take in either 8th grade or 9th grade. if we take it in 8th, we have to start at alg. 2 as a freshman. that sucks. and Trig doesn't even count as a math credit here.. it's an elective.. crazy!

[Reflectionist]

well, considering it's in preparation for a Percussion Studies Major, I don't think it's too out of line.

 

It could be a bit immature if it was just for the hell of it. But I only need five elective credits, and one half of an English Credit to graduate.

School of the gifted, much?

Around here, everyone has far more credits than needed. I took Spanish for 3 years of high school... when I could've just not have taken it since i had 4 years worth of credits of art/art history

[KillMeImIrish]

School of the gifted, much?

 

haha.. no. we're not an advanced school or whatever.. i dont really know what it is.. i guess we just have a lot expected of us... for some reason.

wow... a lot of kids barely have enough credits! to graduate we have to have:

4 english.

4 maths.

4 social studies.

3 sciences

2 arts.

2 languages.

2 computers.

 

hmm. i think that's all we HAVE to have... but i'm not sure. so yeah. it sucks.

To graduate we have to have the following:

4 Englishes

3 Social Studies

2 Math

2 Science

2 Practical Arts

1 Fine Art

1 P.E.

1/2 Health Credit

8 General Electives

 

But they upped the antie, that's just what the juniors and seniors have to do, last years sophomores have to have three maths and three sciences. So they have to do 26 credits to grad, we only have to have 24. Unless you're in Vo-Tech, then you need 25 or 23, respectively.

[ShinodaBear]

I have only 2 classes i'm taking this summer.

 

Statistical Methods

Fundamentals of Speech

wow, so can i transfer to your school?

 

what's the diff in a practical and fine art?

 

i forgot the PE's.. we need ...2 or 3 of those. i dunno. ive taken 3 so whatever.. and duh. of course we have to have electives. but we have to have 4 each YEAR.. soo... in 4 years.. we have to have 16 electives. but i thought our requirements were something that every school required.

 

we have to have 32 credits to graduate.

[Reflectionist]

Practical Arts are: Wood Shop, Business, Ag, and F.A.C.S.

 

Fine Arts are: Art, Band, Choir.

 

Basically they're the same, except that the school thinks that everyone should be chicken farmers, so Agriculture and Wood Shop and Business are 'practical'

 

Where as Music is "impractical"

[LSUTiger]

A senior in Algebra I. That's embarrassing from your school's perspective.

[Reflectionist]

For the fifth time.... i took stupid classes on purpose so I could get my math done easier.... chill out.

 

They've got all that other crap, like geometry, trig, calculus, analytic geometry too.....

[Vash_the_Stampede]

Yeah, in my school, they have a class, Basic Math 3, just for seniors. It's there to help them get credits they may need.

[LSUTiger]

So at what point are you going to realize I was lambasting your school for even allowing a senior to only be so far as Algebra I? You can offer all the excuses you want, but the fact remains; you are a senior in high school that doesn't even possess the mathematical skills of Algebra. That, is infact, embarrassing for whatever educational system you are in. Especially since you are an admitted science fan! Good luck with your precussion major, you're going to need it.

[Reflectionist]

the only reason I'm even taking it is for college.

 

and when I get caught up IN college, it's possible I'll switch my major.

 

I could easily go into psychology or medical science, having a lot of first hand experience in medical science.

[LSUTiger]

Well starting off behind in college is not the best idea, especially if you plan on "catching up." Pre-med opens up much more opportunities than a psych degree. Why does nobody ever want to be an engineer? It's by far the most versatile field there is, but nobody ever wants to enter it.

[Reflectionist]

like.... a train engineer? A music engineer? A Technical Engineer?

[Shadowed Heart]

I haven't gotten my scedule yet, but I'm taking: dance, ceramics, spanish. and my alternates are: advanced choir, foods and clothing, ballroom dancing.

[LSUTiger]

like.... a train engineer? A music engineer? A Technical Engineer?

 

Exactly!! Well, minus the train engineer.

 

Chemical Engineer

Electrical Engineer

Mechanical

Petroleum (Big money in that one right now)

Civil

Biomedical

Biological

Structural

Aeronautical

Industrial

etc.

etc.

etc.

 

The single most versatile field there is. Period.

damn, school wasn't that fun when I was twelve. ._.

I took ceramics when I was in 9th grade, and it was hella fun

I miss it.

[twilightcrimson7]

 

Petroleum (Big money in that one right now)

 

 

$56,000 annually, I hear.

[KillMeImIrish]

$56' date='000 annually, I hear.[/quote']

 

 

that's.. not that much... at all.

 

justin- from the stories you tell me, i'm definitely thinking there's a good reason no one wants to go into that field: getting educated for it. oh my gah. no one in their right mind wants to go through that kind of schooling! i actually want to live in college.. ahhaa.

[LSUTiger]

$56' date='000 annually, I hear.[/quote']

 

That's bare minimum actually. Shell came to our school not too long ago and they were offering over 70K a year for Pet E's.

 

Oh, and Christan, 56K a year for your first year out of undergraduate college is a TON of money. Most people are lucky to get 40K first year out of school. Also, it's only hell for the last 2 years. That's when the classes get intense. The first two years give you plenty much of a life in school. Now, however, I dont even have time to answer my phone.. :snicker:
