    Spelling, History, Arithmetic, and two study periods? That’s a light class schedule if ever I heard one. Even in elementary school, I remember having English, Science, Music, Arithmetic, Social Studies, and Art — plus recess!

    She would have got a D- in all of those other classes anyway.

    I’ve avoided disappointment by always having low expectations.

    If she’d a-gotten computer programming back when this first came out, she might be a billionaire today.

    That first schedule sounds like a great summer camp.

    A Sudbury-style school would allow her to take all such classes…

    sadly that is what happens in almost all of life. you check what you want and you get what they give you. you sign up for certain things and the final package is something else.

    Folk guitar, stained glass art and natural foods workshop all sound like something typical of that era (late 60s).

    I can’t see her signing up for shoemaking. She doesn’t like wearing shoes.

    My husband said, in the army they always asked “How would you like your eggs?” but they only served them scrambled.

    Yeah, I remember taking the computer programming classes in college in the early 80’s. BASIC, Fortran, COBOL, hated them all. I can remember by Fortran professor saying over and over “someone will figure out a way to have a computer talk to people in simple ways, instead of this falderal. And they will be fantastically wealthy”. Windows was a couple years away.

    Back in ’69 you probably would have learned to program COBOL (for business) or FORTRAN (for scientific applications) using punch cards, and computers took up an entire room.

    Unless you learned to program in assembly or machine language you never learned how to program a computer. What you learned was how to write a program that a computer could used.

    The school probably doesn’t even have the facilities for teaching most of those subjects, let alone offer classes for them.

    Forget the specific classes. You sign up for what you want in life and you get what you need – whether you realize it or not. A life lesson, not a school or computer lesson…
