And the Winner is...

Will had to make a decision about which 1/2 credit of elective to choose.  His options were European History (aka. History of World Wars), Metal Shop, and Computer Technology.  He chose...

European History

This may seem like a strange choice for a 13 year old boy to make.  Based on the pros and cons we had discussed, here is his reasoning.

'I can take Metals in the high school, where they have better equipment, teachers, and projects.  I can take Computer Tech online over the summer.  A Social Studies class will be easier and less demanding at the junior high than the high school, but will still count towards the graduation requirement.  And Mr. Earling teaches it.  I like him.'
