School has three terms in any given year. **Kid will complete English class in two terms ** but want to drop the subject for the third term.

newparent, are you saying that your child will complete his/her 4th year of English in those 2 terms,and that your concern is about the perceived difficulty of the curriculum if a primary academic subject is dropped for an elective? In that case, I can’t see that there’d be a problem, provided the 4th year of English is completed. If your child would graduate without the full 4 credits of English, I agree with those who suggest calling the schools. I know of kids who have called adcoms (well,whose parents have called them) to ask about dropping a math or science class that’s proving to be very difficult in senior year, and the schools have been surprisingly okay with it, as long as the basic requirements for math/science have already been met and the student isn’t a prospective math/science major.
