594: Bad schedule choices based on rumor

Listen Later

We are seeing it already this school year— students making bad schedule choices. 

High school course selection is important. Students and parents should make informed decisions. Listen as we discus

  • The value of core academic courses 
  • How to balance taking challenging academic courses and having time for other activities
  • Finding alternative options when a student is struggling with challenging courses (rather than avoiding it completely)
  • Importance of students advocating for themselves
  • Whether students should start specializing for prospective majors with their high school courses

    • A bad schedule choice can result in daily struggles. Avoid making decisions based on rumors; seek out accurate information from reliable sources.
