Re: Explain American things to a non American thread.

When I was in high school, which has been a hot minute, you had mandatory requirements by the state, like say: four English credits, three math credits, three science credits, four history credits, X elective credits, etc. So you'd end up taking English every year, but might not have math or science one year if you got it all out of the way before senior year. Of course, you could also be taking AP classes, which would let you take a test at the end to get college credit for as well. So there were mandatory requirements but you still mostly had options on how you filled those requirements.

My high school was small, graduating class of about 100. So you didn't have many options for your credits. I managed to get out of taking chemistry by taking [whatever the general freshman 101 class was], Biology, and then Physiology. Same on math. We had Algebra 1, Algebra 2, Geometry, Pre-calc, and Calculus. I had Algebra 1 in middle school, and then took Algebra 2, Geometry, Pre-calc, and noped out of Calculs. So there weren't a lot of options. Most everyone ended up taking some very similar type of classes. For electives, I think you had to have one or two foreign language credits, but we only had the options of French or Spanish. There was also things like Humanities or Drivers' Ed you could take, whatever they called shop class, and then of course Band, Choir, Physical Education (thankfully not required--I said goodbye to terrible gym things in middle school), and various sports, which would start the last period and practice into the afternoon (I think. sportsball is not my thing). Juniors and Seniors could also be teacher's aides for an hour if they were on track to having all their credits, and could also take last period free.

Now, in huge high schools, you're going to have soooooo many more electives and options for even required areas like science and math. I don't know how it works with demand like that. At my school, if you chose a class, you were pretty much guaranteed to get to take it, assuming of course that the two classes weren't at the same time. Because in a small school, they would only be offered one period a year.

SA
What I mean about one period a year, is that, there might be 5 different timeslots slots for Algebra 1 on the schedule, but only one Calculus or Physiology class, because only one teacher taught that, and there were only enough students taking it to make up one class.

I went to an absolutely huge fuck-off school, graduating class 1,001. I always had an option, even for required subjects.

Math: Algebra 1 & 2; Geometry; Pre-Calc; Stats (2 types); Calculus (three types); Trig
Social studies: US Government; Euro history; US history Pre-colonial -WW1 1st year followed by WW1 -Regan 2nd year
English: English (including ESL); English & Lit; Composition; Honors English & lit; AP E&L
Science: Earth Science; Chemistry; Physics; Astronomy; Biology; Psychology
Gym was required, but it could be filled by: Weight lifting; Team sports (including baseball; doubles tennis; football); Or, strangely, band (we had 4 bands)/choir.
Etc, etc, etc.

We had a course planning guide back then. They offer even more options now.
