Do you ever go home feeling like you didn’t get enough time socializing in the commons or learn a sufficient number of new math equations?  Ever feel like you just don’t spend enough time at school? The ASD board and administartion has been debating for years now how to produce the best educated young adults. Well, it looks to me they have found a way.

   Surprise! We now have school throughout the entire summer and seven days a week.  You are guranteed to get your fill on brownies and breakfast bagels!  You might as well kiss your summer vacations and weekend plans goodbye, because school will now be in session from January through December and the weeks will begin on Monday and end on Sunday. To the right is a sneak peak at the sample July schedule.

   Now, you may be asking yourself what a “normal” schedule actually is, so let me break it down for you.  A normal schedule consists of six periods in one day.  Two of these six periods each day will be math.  The other four periods include an English Class, an Arts Class, a Free Period, and a Science Course.  There is no set timing for each of the classes it really just depends on how long the teacher wants to teach.  Some days your math class may be 20 minutes and other days it could be 90 minutes.

   One may wonder why there is such an emphasis on math and quite frankly I ask myself the same thing.  There have been whispers that it is because in our future we are going to have to use math equations to build rocket ships that can take us to different planets because earth is going to explode; however, I’m not sure I completely buy this theory. I suppose we have math so frequently because math makes people sound clever.  If you are good at math, you are smart and my understanging is that AHS wants to produce intelligent little individuals.
