As we head into fall registration for high school classes, it’s a good time to make practical decisions about the courses you’ll need to fulfill requirements and prepare for your education after high school. It’s also a good time to do some more daydreaming about the kinds of classes you wish your school would offer. Like one of these:
Ballroom Dancing
Ballroom dance wouldn’t get you very far at a Soulja Boy concert, but then, nobody ever met the love of their life at a Soulja Boy concert. Ballroom dancing is totally the kind of class that Edward Cullen (or anyone hoping to meet an Edward Cullen-type) would take.
Kendo
Kendo is a lot like fencing, except that it’s Japanese and the outfits are a lot cooler. Plus, you get to yell: “Kote! Do! Men!!!”
Four Square
Remember when gym class was fun? Well, it could be again! All it would take is getting rid of the barbells and Tae Bo videos and getting back to the basics: a square, a rubber ball, and plenty of guts.
Espionage
Fact: There are spies.
Fact: That means someone out there is teaching spy stuff.
Fact: If they taught us spy stuff at an earlier age, we would be better prepared for the world of international espionage.
Performance Art
Except for the artistically talented students, high school art classes are mostly a chance to goof off between trigonometry and lunch. That would change if your teacher spent the hour showing you how to build creepy robots and set trampolines on fire in the school parking lot.
Quantum Physics
School is supposed to teach students the joy of learning, but no one ever left a physics class saying, “Oh man, can you believe I equals V over R???” That’s why they should start with the big, mind-altering concepts and then work their way back to the boring stuff once everybody’s already hooked on quantum teleportation.
What classes are on your wish list?
