"Still in school"? As in, K-12 school?

Well, all I know is this semester:

Computer Science I (Java)
US History: Beginning to Civil War
Calculus I
US and Texas Government
Freshman Interest Group (a "how to get by in college" class)

The other 2 courses are labs; one for CS, the other my Calculus Problem Section.

Oh lord...that just shows you how much a school focuses on athletics more than its academics...I'm surprised it wasn't a class where I graduated from.

According to my timetable, it's 25 hours. It's spread out over the days enough that it's not too bad.

So what? A school has a class about sports, is that a bad thing? Yeah, they sure are focusing on athletics, 1 class about sports and a billion about everything else. They sure are leaning towards athletics

I'm not sure what it's like in your school, but at mine sports are placed above everything else. teachers let assignments come in late from people on teams (even cheerleaders), and they are really really loose with the rules for them. they even get gym credit (except Step Chain, even though they do everything on their own, including covering all costs for what ever they need).

they are reinovating the ten year old gym when our school still dosent have air conditioning. they bought a new score board instead replacing the black boards or the old books (we still use books from the 70's).

anyway, enough of my rant. at least your school is making an effort to break the dumb jock sterotype (although, i have to say there are quite a few jocks at my school who really are stupid... a few can't even do basic algebra like 6x=12).

that's really pathetic that athletes and cheerleaders are held on such a higher pedestal than everyone else.

At my school teachers wont even let you turn in assignment late with extrenuating circumstances. For example my team has a game on the other side of the state. It is at 6:00 and is four hours away. Let's see how this works out: Leave school 1:30. Arrive at 5:30. Start game at 6:00. End game at 7:30. Leave at 7:45. Stop for quick dinner. Get to school at 11:45 or later. Get home at 12:00 or later. (Yes it does take 15 minutes to drive to my school) And the teachers dont cut you any slack...

Not necessarily. I'm an ex business major student... who's doing human biology because I had half the requirements done from being in pre-dent. So technically just going to be a dentist or a specialized one.

I suppose they might make the arguement that you're in it by choice, so it's your fault. -=Shrugs=- Not my opinion, I think that's a good enough excuse.

I also have the coolest TV teacher ever. He worked for the local TV station for 15 years before becoming a teacher. He's done so mcuh. He even went to other states to film special news stories and ****. And almost fell out of a coast guard copter doing it! lol. Anyway, Advanced TV kikcs ass because it's a full year course instead of half a year like the other two.

see, i don't think athletes should get treated any diffrent, but i do think if a student has to miss school 'cause of a school related thing that they should be given an extra day to get work done that they missed.

For the most part athletes dont get special treatment. In my town football is the big thing, almost the whole town comes. Its weird, especially on night when the games are away, but the whole town is empty, no one walking on any street, stores and resturants are empty. Its empty. The closest thing to "special treatment" for athletes is easy fridays during football season. It seems like on fridays we do nothing, depending on the teacher. We might just have a worksheet or something and have the rest of the period to "study", even though no one does and the teachers dont care. But thats not really special treatment for athletes, it benifits everyone. I hate the dumb jock stereotype, most of the players I play with on our team are smart and get good grades. We even have some of the smartest people in school on the team. And my school has also won 10 straight all-academic titles, which means we have the highest gpa. Oh, and cheerleading isnt a sport.
