Just how badly can a school mess up one kid's schedule?
Just how badly can a school mess up one kid's schedule?
Give him none of his electives.
Omit some state requirements.
Give him Algebra 2x per day.
Give him English 2x per day.
Give him some flunky class 2x per day.
In a computerized era, would you really expect to see a kid to be enrolled in course 1192 2x, with the same teacher?!?!? (Same for the other ( Read more... ) -
