No School? Sounds like a challenge

[AdinX]

I'm a senior and I have 4 classes
My school is one of the top 100 public schools in the US with some of the most competitive sports teams (except football)

I have had several tests in a day.
A running test in PE, an AP Biology test, an Earth Science test, a literature test, an ancient civilizations test, a math test, and an anatomy test.

Why are some people assuming that less periods means a worse education, anyway? Usually, as you have less periods, teachers have more time to teach, which means students actually have time to learn and discuss topics in-depth.

Sounds like you are going to one of those pampered SoCal highschools.

I don't have block scheduling, there are 8 class slots a year. Four first semester and four second semester. I simply took a free period instead of a fourth period both semesters, so I'm only taking 6 classes this year (3 a semester). It is, however, an open campus for people taking free periods. I don't have to check in or anything, I just go home early.

Second semester (when I go back to school, I just finished my finals today) I'm actually taking a "zero period" which means I'll go in to school early in exchange for a free fourth period. Since I'm also taking a free third period by choice, I'm going to get out of school after second period which is lunch. Going home at 11:12 AM is gonna be awesome.

Don't get me wrong though, I'm not saying my school isn't pampered. It's in the top 15 highest scoring public schools in CA so we have a budget the size of Croatia's national bank. Not to mention the ASB department of my school received like 5 million dollars in donations this year alone..

oh man, we get really in-depth sometimes in my english class
we had to read "a rose for emily" and that discussion got really morbid really quickly.

what do you do in a "zero period", take an actual class?

man i'd love it if my school did this, I get to school an hour early every day anyways and end up hanging out with my teacher(s) but if i could get credit/a free for it that would be sweet

The only course my school offers for "zero period" right now is "Weight Training." Since I need to complete 2 PE classes to graduate, I'm taking Zero Period Weight Training to complete that credit and get out of school absurdly early.

what the hell

It gets down to -50C here with windchill and school STILL isn't cancelled.

Texas is like "It's below freezing..."

"Shut, down, EVERYTHING"
