Very nice She! Geometry, DNA... it's all way over my head, so I'm impressed by everyone who can make chocolate out of it

I wouldn't know, those courses disappeared from my curriculum in my 4th year
Not surprising: I did the culture and society programme (which includes languages and Math 1a) and did a few extra courses from the economics and society programme. I wasn't allowed to take the science course though, without also taking the physics course. Too bad, I liked science. Do you have these sort of programmes too, or is everyone supposed to take the same classes?

Are you perhaps sitting on it? Or did you put it under your monitor?
Don't give me that look! It happened to me... Perhaps I should shut up now...

Ah, thanks.
The programmes apply to secundary school though. In secundary school you choose one of four programmes. Every programme gives access to certain areas of study in the tertiary education. Because I basically did 2 prgrammes, I have access to almost everything in the language, social and economical sector. However I can't study to be a doctor or rocket scientist, because I have the wrong programmes. I think that is the same then. For tertiary education you choose only 1 thing and get courses that match that. For example Italian, Japanese, Language Acquisition, Medics, Biology. I got the idea that in America you can more or less compile your own major? At least, that's the system in Japan. Everyone can choose from all courses available and it's up to you to make up a sensible curriculum. So how about that dance you promised me?

No, in secondary school...high school? Everyone must study everything, at some level. You're not supposed to know, at 15, whether you want to be a doctor, or not.
In college you study what you want to, until you finally do enough of what they want you to that they kick you upstairs. Ever play baseball? College is like a baseball game on a golf course. You can run where-ever you want. You can touch base on any hole. But until you touch the bases they've identified, you aren't done.

I chose Japanese, so my curriculum revolves around Japan. I was glad that when I was in Japan I could study something else. Don't get me wrong, I love studying Japan, especially the history and economics etc. but after 2 years of only Japan-related social subjects with a lot of overlap (I had at least 3 courses with WWII as the focus ) I really liked being able to study other things.

*while dancing*
A lot of colleges pride themselves on never teaching anything useful. That's prestige. It's 'a liberal arts education' and it befits you to run things, apparently.

*ponders Sis' statement and because of that nearly falls out of rythm*
So if you haven't been taught anything useful and get to run things, imagine what you'd get to do if you had actually been taught something! Now that would be something... *nearly steps on Sis' toes, but recovers at the last moment* You're a better dancer then me
