Yeah, I live, what you know? Anyway, I need feedback on what it looks and if anyone has anymore suggestions for more classes and whatnot. I cut some off and added few more but yeah... Comment back, please!

As a suggestion, since Web Design was taken off the list. Should it be listed under Interactive Media? Or would it still be listed as a seperate course under industrial tech/business since we still have PC Application available? To me it would seem that most computer courses would go hand in hand or am I wrong? XDDDDD

Website Design's part of Interactive Media (which is Film, News, Internet, TV, etc), just not a full focus class as it once was. If I get a lot of people wanting this class then I'm willing to put it back there.

PC Applications is a general class for how to use a PC and the software on it. (Perfect for those from a non-1980~200X timeline.)

Hey, Squally, can you take me off the e-mail forwarding? Getting all these messages is getting annoying. D:

[mercy_slays]

Accepted! ^_^ -was wondering how to break them down more-

How about the other classes? Think we should open more elective classes or what? >.o;

Re: Weapons training

[rka_mods]

... which "other classes"?

By the way - Millie Thompson millynilly (player: Kitsu) wanted to teach Home Ec.

For most classes, I suggest we write a little bit on what each class or level covers, so that we can differentiate this high school material from the university/college material for older students. We can use the stuff in brackets I just wrote, for those particular classes.

Re: Weapons training

[mercy_slays]

More Art Classes, Industrial Tech/Business, Family & Consumer...

I can add Home Economics if there is someone willing to teach it. =D

And understandable. Like I said, it's a tentative course list. I'm not done completely yet.

Arts and Humanities

[rka_mods]

List Theater directly on top of Playwriting/Directing and Acting Styles.
It's easier to read the prerequisite system that way.

Should we include Philosophy and Theology as upper-year courses?
We could leave them as university/college courses instead, if they might be advanced for the kiddies. I halfassedly suggested Nicholas Wolfwood wolfwood_priest (player: Tristan) teach theology, given he is a priest ... we could always change that before I approve him.

Should we include Vocal as a course?
I never saw such a course myself, but Sakuma Ryuichi sakuma_ryu (player: Raven) wanted to teach Vocal ... we could always get her to change that, of course.

Should we include an entire Music department?
At my former high school and the rest of the Ontario school curriculum, Music is listed for levels 1-4, and things like Band and Orchestra aren't courses but are extracurriculars worth extra credits/courses.

Re: Arts and Humanities

[mercy_slays]

Yeah I will re-edit the course listings.

Philo & Theo, could work... Though that might be more of a University type of course... I'm holding back on making a Uni list until much later unless you all want me to make one now? >.o; Uni list will be more specific-related while HS is a real general basis.

Vocal can work if you mean by Singing and stuff like that, I don't see why not.

Music Department? I suppose I could make it as well since we have enough classes for that if we do the Music course and then stuff like that. Band & Orchestra could be more of a extracurricular. I'll just take that out of the normal scheduling then.

"It's so much easier when we know what classes kids have seen themselves"

You guys don't have creative writing. ^_^ Uhhh. Maybe have two different levels of Algebra. Like Algebra I and II. In my school we also have photography like you do but it's called "Art Photography" and it's in the Art department. Maybe a craftmanship class? Like a wood shop or metal shop of sorts? I don't know those are my suggestions for now :3

-One of RKA's finest, Adam/Zell/Naruto/Jing/17

[rozenkreuz_zell]

Oh and with age modifications I was hoping that we could make Zell the martial arts teacher and Naruto the ninjutsu teacher. :3

[mercy_slays]

Those are more for a Uni-type Course Listing. I'm just working on our HS one right now, but duly noted. =d

[rozenkreuz_zell]

Oh... o.o;

Well that's how my high school is. XP

Thankies for the duly notation. =P

[sakuma_ryu]

Suggestion on the English front...

Perhaps, add some specialized english classes? For example, my high school changed curriculum my senior year to allow the seniors to pick a specialized english class from a list to take. I took a class called, "Man, Myth, & Magic", we had classes such as "British Literature", "Poetry and Romantic Works", and in college, I'm currently taking a "Science Fiction" course. It might make things a bit more interesting. ^_________^

[rka_mods]

There could be a great many options from that - possibly even too many. My high school alone, using the bare-bones Ontario curriculum, could have Literature (3: Canadian and 4: World), and then Writing (3: Workshop and 4: Creative Writing) and others I've forgotten, on top of the other English courses.
