Elective Decision

The time of year is coming 'round where Christopher puts together his seventh-grade schedule. We plan on putting him in pre-AP math and if it is available Science. His grades and interest this year indicate he should be successful. Of course, we'll talk to his teachers before signing off on the classes.

The highlight of next year's schedule is getting to take two electives. One being Athletics so he can play football and basketball. He doesn't quite understand why he has to take Athletics to get to play sports, but I think it will eventually sink in. The other elective will probably be Art. He's really taken to it this year. But, if he takes Spanish in the seventh and then the eighth grade, he earns a high school credit. High school requires two language credits.

He loves Art so shouldn't he continue with it? Or do we get him ahead of the game and knock out a credit? And then there's other electives -- computer class for one.

Decisions, decisions . . and we haven't even finished the second nine weeks!?

Talk to me about middle school electives. Also, you don't want him to be overwhelmed especially with the athletics. The Spanish is a good idea.
