This is not only affecting freshmen as well! For all sophmores wanting to double up on science next year, the option to take 2 electives will also no longer be available! As a student who wants to succeed in school as well as have time to be creative this is upsetting because the thing I look forward to most in school is my artistic classes.
Holly supported: Stop Changes to U-32 High School Schedule!Students should have the option to double-up on an academic class (ex: 2 math courses along with 1 english, 1 science, etc) without losing the ability to have elective classes. Learning foreign languages and being involved in the arts is just as important to a well-rounded education as core-academics.
Josephine supported: Stop Changes to U-32 High School Schedule!As a graduate of U-32, I can attest that the rich content I experienced through elective classes helped me in college. I was able to draw on a larger base of knowledge and make connections students from schools with more limited curriculums couldn’t. When you come from a small, rural school in Vermont, these sorts of experiences set students apart in higher ed, when we otherwise might fall behind.
Simone supported: Stop Changes to U-32 High School Schedule!The proposed changes to the U-32 High School schedule are not just inconvenient—they could have a devastating impact on the mental and emotional well-being of students. A balanced schedule is vital to our health, academic success, and overall future. These changes will increase stress, disrupt important routines, and create an environment that’s harder to thrive in. For many students, these changes could mean more sleepless nights, more anxiety, and ultimately, a decline in their ability to learn effectively. This is a matter of students' well-being, and it cannot be taken lightly. I urge you to stop these changes and consider the severe consequences they may have on students' lives.
Garth supported: Stop Changes to U-32 High School Schedule!As a retired teacher, and as a grandparent of U-32 student, I wholeheartedly support this. Give our children , grandchildren , the joy of exploration, do not stifle their joy of learning by limiting choices
Sally supported: Stop Changes to U-32 High School Schedule!The fall of the eighth elective is upon us. This isn’t just a schedule change—it’s the slow, merciless suffocation of curiosity, the cold-blooded slashing of opportunities, the end of balance in our education.
High school was supposed to be the golden age of electives, the reward for surviving years of middle school monotony. But now? Now we must choose which passion to abandon. A language or an art? Music or acting? Culinary or tech? One class may not seem like much, but it’s the difference between an aspiring polyglot and someone who barely remembers one language. Between a future performer and someone who never finds their voice. Between a world-class chef and someone who just reheats frozen pizza.
This isn’t just about scheduling—it’s about the kind of students we become. More electives mean more exploration, more creativity, and more chances to discover what actually makes us want to learn. Seven periods aren’t enough. They just aren’t.
So yeah, sign the petition. Make some noise. We can’t let them take this from us. Viva la educación.
Wolf supported: Stop Changes to U-32 High School Schedule!As a parent of an incoming 9th grader who needs academic support, I was dismayed when I learned that, should my child take a world language, she will not be able to take ANY electives. Painting class is one thing she is really looking forward to in high school, and with the current proposed change, should she take a language, painting will no longer be an option. Please reconsider this change, so that students who need academic support as one of their “electives” are not punished, and will be able to have an enriching education filled with world language AND creativity, both of which are vital to personal and community development.
Liz supported: Stop Changes to U-32 High School Schedule!Elective courses in high school offer significant advantages for students with IEPs. Electives can help enable students to explore personal interests, acquire specialized skills, and build self-confidence. These courses can provide tailored learning experiences that align with students' strengths and interests, fostering a sense of autonomy and engagement in their education, which can be particularly motivating for students with diverse needs. Taking away an elective and replacing one with a second block of physical education, especially for those who will have a block cut out for specialized classes, could be a mental barrier when it comes to growth and willingness to learn. Please take this into consideration when planning for everyone.
