I just spent several hours doing just that. I am surprised that there is not more consistency. The difference between Garfield and Roosevelt and the rest of the schools is disheartening. <br /><br />For those of you who have toured and attended high schools, is the apparent disparity in course selection a good indication of school quality variation?Sydhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08715140880268606856noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28765366.post-84991614365624655152016-10-07T21:21:36.994-07:002016-10-07T21:21:36.994-07:00I am confused as to Carmen's accomplishments r...I am confused as to Carmen's accomplishments request.

That includes sports clubs having offsite practice like ultimate, or captain's practices for sports, or BSU attending a community service event on Saturday, a school jazz combo playing for a wedding reception, or anime club attending com icon, or .....<br /><br />Whew. <br /><br />Am I the only one who hasn't heard of this? Are all these clubs going to start paying staff? Or stop doing activities? <br /><br />-HS Parent<br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28765366.post-72202454832358834372016-10-07T16:19:13.919-07:002016-10-07T16:19:13.919-07:00Yes, Carmen, it is.
