I haven't been to campus yet this semester. I took a minute today to think about the day.
Our school got rid of all study halls this year. Maybe not the wisest move to force an extra class and have kids have enough classes to graduate a year early, but just take CC classes their senior year that the school has to pay for, or turn them loose in the workforce and get zero funds for them. They may want to increase requirments.
Between those dual enrollment and AP classes, my son entered ISU as a sophomore. A lot of kids won't take the credit for college so they can retake the class and get an easy grade, but my kid hopes to get out early and save money.
My kids taking the credit. I have told them that I will pay X amount and if they spend less than X amount, I will split the savings with them.
They take any accelerated math at the MS when they are in MS, but we kept her on the normal path for math. Not a favorite subject, didn't need to cause more stress.
My son has socialogy this year, so he will pick up 6 credits, hopefully. Next year he will go to the business hub, NIACCs off campus classes and pick up about 8-12 credits per semester.
They bumped him out of An Sci. For a kid that is considering something in Ag and who works for a larger local hog farmer part time, think they would have found a spot for him. He doesn't take the Vo Ag classes since the instructor isn't considered strong at our local school.
Our middle school didn't really have the equivalent of high school Geometry or Algebra II at the middle school. They did bus them to the high school though, and then their first math class in high school was Trig. My current ISU student has all of his engineering math done in high school then except diffy q's.
The is only one Strange Brew, the vintage song by The Cream. Hey, wtf did you expect, it is Throwback Thursday (not Friday at all, man) and I am fully committed to it.
She's a witch of trouble in electric blue,
In her own mad mind she's in love with you.
With you.
Now what you gonna do?
Strange brew, kill what's inside of you.
Songs about crazy women, who would have thought?
Our justifications for invasion in 1812 were dubious at that time. This time it's about chips, bad music and crabby in-laws. We have the moral high ground.
His older brother suggested he go ahead and take four years at ISU but try and do a co-op or two in addition to summer internships. They pay decent for the co-ops and they are a good way to have a job offer waiting. We'll see. Sometimes with the way they schedule the engineering classes, it's hard to get ahead no matter what you do.
I concur with all of this except why in the heck would we want Canada after we won?
Basketball recruits, mostly
