What Classes are You Taking?

[PhoenixCadet]

So, just curious in regards to everyone's schooling (be it high school, college or whatever). What courses are you taking at the moment? Any Honors or AP courses?

Personally, I go to a college-prep charter school. I'm an independant study student, so some courses I take are through packet work at home, and some are in labs at the school. We also have an agreement with the local community college (campus right next door) in that we take our science and language courses through them, as well as some electives.

As I mentioned, my school's a college-prep school. We have two "tracks", and three different credit plans you can be on. I'm going for 260 high school credits (I'm a junior, now), and am currently on the "college-prep" plan (which is our equivilant of an Honors program). My school doesn't offer actual Honors or AP courses. Simply standard courses, or college-prep.

At the moment, I'm working on English 10 and Geometry 1. Because we're independant study, you're able to work on one lab course and one packet course at one time. In my case, I get them done in less than half the time it would take to take it in a full-time, 5-day a week high school.

When I'm done with this English class - I plan on taking a History of Naval Warfare. My teacher (and now, CAP Unit Commander) created the class for fun, and it's now part of the elective cirriculm at my school.

What's your schedule like?

P.S. In keeping up with the CPP, do not post any school locations or names.

I would absolutely love to take a Naval Warfare class. I enjoy classes like that.

We're quite lucky (for being in California) that our administration allows stuff like that. My school's quite conservative. You get the whole "patriotic American" feel from simply walking about campus (bronze statues of people like Abraham Lincoln, George Washington, etc.), a giant (I mean huge) portrait of the signing of the Declaration of Independance in the main office - among other things.

Not to mention our principal didn't even listen to 5 minutes of my CAP advertisment spiel before he said "we're doin' it!".

It's really cool.

I'm a philosophy major. I'm recovering from surgery at the moment so I had to take the semester out of school. After that, I'll be getting a Master of Divinity at a major seminary.

AFJROTC classes are different. Only one per year.

Given I'm basically familiar with JROTC - I'm curious. Is this something that varies depending on the school? Or does it differ between what type of JROTC you're in (Army, Navy, Air Force, etc.)?

I'm not sure. I know that some schools in my area offer JROTC Drill and Ceremonies, JROTC Leadership, JROTC, and others as separate classes. We have the only AFJROTC in the school district so I really don't have anything to compare it to. At my school there is JROTC I, II, III, and IV. You can have multiple hours of JROTC at a certain level but they all count as electives.

[Buffa1oso1di3r]

Alright, here's the answer:

My school runs on a Block Schedule.

Basically, instead of going to a class for 45 minutes all year, we go to a class for 90 minutes half a year.

No, it's not the program, it's the school. :P

As for classes:

At least in Army JROTC, having a sole Drill and Ceremonies class is actually illegal by law... although we had one for about six years, disguising it as Leadership Practicum.

Ooooh *shivers*.

I hate block-schedule courses / schools. Before I transferred to my current school, that's the way the high school I was at ran things. Almost the entire student body had something negative to say about it. I personally think it's horribly, especially if you, as a student, get a certain teacher that's... quite boring. Students tend to doze off in normal-lengthed periods... So imagine what it'd be like in a block-schedule class!

My school's schedule is Monday, Tuesday, and Friday, we have 7, 50 min classes. On Wednesday and Thursday, we have block schedules. Wednesday is 2,4,6,7 and Thursday is 1,3,5,7. 7th hour never blocks. This schedule gives classes like science to preform labs, give tests, or in ROTC's case, do PT.

AFJROTC is set up on a three to four year plan with classes for AS1 to AS4. They AS years are theoretically aligned with high school years, and that's the type of track that the Air Force wanted to set up, one AS year for every high school year. In schools with block schedules, you could take multiple credits of AFJROTC in one year, but its a double edged sword. You may be able to get more years under your belt in a shorter period of time, but you are limited in what you are going to be doing in your latter years of high school. Usually if a cadet goes through AS4 and then still has a year left in high school, they can take AFJROTC again and just maintain the AS4 designation, or audit the class all together. Most of these cadets become what we call Cadet ASIs or Special Assistants. They are cadets that teach classes to other cadets, that's right teach the class instead of the instructor. This helps a lot at times because the Cadet ASI can really break things down and relate to other students better than an instructor. Its great fun.

Wow I caught this real late. I go to the most liberal school in my county and probably the most liberal in the state. We have(had) a young republican's club there are only three member's and we only had two meetings.

I'm trying to CLEP out of Public Speaking and History of the Vietnam War.

Not by choice, our schedules are predetermined until after the third semester. Through the first and second semester we all have the same classes. In that summer we can choose up to 2, and in the third semester we can pick 2 out of the 5 classes we take. In many ways it down right sucks. For instance we are required to take Civil Procedure II, many schools leave it as an elective which is exactly what it should be. It's an extremely class that is not about a subject on the bar exam (the federal rules of civil procedure) and something that the vast majority of us will never need to know, let alone use in our careers. Essentially the class caters to people going down a particular career path at the detriment of everyone else. The students at my school are considering lobbying to have it moved to an elective and moving con law up to the second semester.

[wukong]

Here is some advice from one of my peers for those that wish to be Air Force aircrew members.

As far as recommendations for your course of study, I offer these:

1. Take a lot of math courses. You'll need all the advanced math skills you
can muster to enable you to calculate per diem rates around the world, and
when trying to split up the crew's bar tab so that the co-pilot really
believes he owes 85% of the whole thing and the navigator believes he owes
the other 20%.

2. Health sciences are important, too. You will need a thorough knowledge of
biology to make those educated guesses of how much longer you can drink beer
before the tremendous case of the G.I.'s catches up to you from that meal
you ate at the place that had the really good belly dancers in some God-forsaken
foreign country whose name you can't even pronounce.

3. Social studies are also beneficial. It is important for a good TAC
Airlifter to have the cultural knowledge to be able to ascertain the exact
location of the nearest topless bar in any country in the world, then be
able to convince the local authorities to release the loadmaster after he offends
every sensibility of the local religion and culture.

4. A foreign language is helpful but not required. You will never be able to
pronounce the names of the NAVAIDs in France, and it's much easier to ignore
them and to go where you want to anyway. As a rule of thumb: waiters and
bellhops in France are always called "Pierre", in Spain it's "Hey, Pedro"
and in Italy, of course, it's "Mario". These terms of address also serve in
other countries interchangeably, depending on the level of suaveness of the
addressee.

5. A study of geography is paramount. You will need to know the basic
location of all the places you've been when you get back from your TDY and are ready
to stick those little pins in that huge world map you've got taped to your
living room wall, right next to the giant wooden giraffe statue and beer stein
collection.

Well, DJ, I hope this little note inspires you. And by the way, forget about
the Academy thing. All TAC Airlifters know that there are waaay too few
women and too little alcohol there to provide a well-balanced education. A nice,
big state college or the Naval Academy would be a much better choice.
