High School Courses

[duke 838]

Can you choose all your classes in high school? I'm not familiar with the american educational system.
In Norway, you have to finish "Videregående" (Advanced) School before going to the uni. You can choose a couple of classes, but most are predefined, depending on which program you choose. (Pre-Uni, Drama, Artisan, Nursery etc.)

Not sure for all high schools, but most you have a few normally around 3 or 4 you have to have each year, and a few you need to have within your four years, but other than that it is up to you. Like i was required a language class, a science, and a math, i got to choose my other, but since i knew i needed 1 physical education to graduate i took one for my freshman year.

So it's kinda like here.
1st year:

• Norwegian 1
• English
• Social Science
• Geography
• Natural Science
• Physical Education
• French 1
• Theoretical Mathematics

2nd year:

• Norwegian 2
• History 1
• Physical Education
• French 2
• Advanced mathematics (Pre-calc) 1
• Chemistry 1
• Physics 1
• "Professional" Sports 1

3rd (final) year:

• Norwegian 3
• History 2
• Physical Education
• Religion
• Advanced mathematics (Pre-calc) 2
• Chemistry 2
• Physics 2
• "Professional" Sports 2

Thats what I had. Bold classes were choosable, all other were mandatory.

Sounds like a good schedule, OP. I always liked Geometry more than Algebra...but it's still math, lol.

I love drama, it's fine taking it in school, but if there's a local theatre or community theatre, I suggest going there instead of taking up school credits.

As for my schedule next year, it's something like this:

Pre-Calculus
History/English Block
Personal Finance
Tech Assist
Weight Training
Environmental Science

Yay for Junior year...

You have weight training at your school? What the hell man? at my school in P.E. we only do bench press for like a month. only other way to use the rooms are if you are in a sport

3rd (final) year:

• Religion

mandatory religion?
burn the school to the ground and laminate the ashes  then use ashes as a toilet seat

Yup! It's a good mix between all the different religions, philosophy and ethics. But the religion-part was the most time-consuming. Not many years ago, the schools teached Christianity and religion, with christianity being about 50% of the course...

Do they teach Atheism or whatever someone would call me despite me rathering it be nameless?

I think that goes under philosohpy and ethics. If you mean stuff like: "Do to others as you wish they should do to you" and "Should I base my decisions on law (Kant) or possible consequenses of my actions? (Bentham and Mill)"
then yes.

Class 1: Mandarin 1C
That could be good, but it depends what you want to be when you're older. That, along with Japanese, would be good for business and junk.
Class 2: Social Studies 1C
I'm gonna guess you're required to do that
Class 3: Algebra and Geometry 2C
You probably have to do these as well
Class 4: English Literature I - Honors
If you get >b- in this class then go to A1.
Class 5: Computer Studies Technology 1C
I suppose
Class 6: Drama 1C
Ehh... I guess if this is an easy A class, then it could be used as a break between real classes.
Class 7: Science 1C
Also guessing you gotta do this

Christianity is state-sanctioned in Norway, but not too much.

[Proog]

What does the 1C and 2C mean?
I don't speak American grade system, but I'm assuming honors is like an advanced class.

This.
Norway and England are the only countries in Europe where the church is still part of the government. Up until 1990-sometime, the church was leader of the "department of Church and Education" But they're losing their grip now. "Only" 79% of the population are member of the Church of Norway.

I'm guessing that the Cs are credits. You need a specific amount of credits to graduate high school, but no one (unless they're handicapped) gets under the required minimum.
