Since I have recently ranted here and here on Gooseberry Lane about the planned reform/redesign of high school in Connecticut, I thought I should post the coursework that my daughter will be striving to complete this year. A few of these classes will extend for the entire year from September 1, 2007 – August 31, 2008; others will only run for a “semester” or a “quarter.” The goal, set by my daughter, is to succeed at a rigorous program so that if she decides to apply to a competitive university, she will have a shot at admission. I am not certain she will be able to finish everything on this list, but she is certainly determined to give it her best effort. The best I can do is support her in her chosen program.
