Classes

We went to the high school tonight to sign B up for his freshman year classes. He's going to take English, geometry, biology, Japanese, world history, gym and a freshman-mandated study hall.

E stayed after school today to take a test to pass the school's requirement for computer proficiency. Students can either pass the test, take a class at school or take an online class to fulfill the requirement. She managed (somehow) to pass the typing test a couple of weeks ago before the test shut down and they had to send the kids away. She had to type at least 35 words per minute and with her "search and peck" method of typing, I wasn't so sure she was going to be able to do that. She claims she was never taught how to type. Hmmm. Anyway, she was able to take her passing typing test score into today's test, finish the Word and Excel portions, and fortunately, she passed! Her counselor, who is also B's counselor, said that only 5 percent of kids who take the test pass. I find that pretty hard to believe, especially since E said most of the kids who took the test today said they passed it. E was there with her friend, A, though, who never said whether she passed or not. We're pretty sure if she passed we would have heard all about it.
