That was my only point... that with all the other things scrambling for our studetns' limited time (no matter where the schooling takes place), attention to the physical body through exercise is what is usually left out! I'm just wondering if this is the best choice, in the long run...Lauriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01670597828278126498noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4163952450459743175.post-56833909990673609022010-05-04T16:24:47.633-04:002010-05-04T16:24:47.633-04:00As a high schooler, I skipped lunch my freshman ye...As a high schooler, I skipped lunch my freshman year, but my Spanish teacher let me eat in her class. I also took band all 4 years, and was in the marching band, too. I took 4 years of Spanish (3 of them in high school), a semester of photography and a semester of keyboarding. I was ahead in math, so my junior year I took 2 sciences which meant I took 5 classes, total. I skipped 2 years of world history in favor of 1 year of world geography (which was much more fun, in my opinion!). My junior year, we switched to block scheduling, which meant that with 7 classes, I only had a lunch/study block every-other-day. Again, I had a teacher who let me eat in his class. So as a public-school goer, there were definitely choices to be made, but I'm thankful I did what I did. It definitely took hard work, which I understand not everyone is able or willing to do, but it worked for me! And it was great prep for college!Diannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11589040362643829954noreply@blogger.com
