Is Science/Math unpopular in your school?

NorthWestLover, that really doesn’t make sense at all… one would think that getting a basic foundation in science is more important than taking philosophy (or something really specialized) so early.

My school’s pre-IB curriculum is very science-heavy. In ninth grade everyone has this schedule:

Language A
Language B/A2
Math
Chemistry
Physics
Biology
(yes, all three sciences at the same time!)
History
Geography
2 electives (art, music, drama, journalism)
Life Skills (joke class)

In 10th grade you get to drop one science or geography, otherwise it stays the same.

I complained about it at the time, but it really does give you a good foundation in… well, everything.
