Just asking because when I was a senior in 1999, I only had 4 classes (out of a possible 7) first semester, and just 2 classes second semester. At the time, most 12th graders in my HS only had a partial schedule like that unless they really screwed up in grades 9, 10, 11. I assumed that was normal.

Talking to my niece and nephew, it seems like that's not the case any more.

Bonus question: did you get school credits for things outside of school, like your job or volunteering? I got an Econ credit for cashiering at a local souvenir shop, and a Civics credit for volunteering at the SPCA for 40 hours. We also got excused from PE in 9th and 10th grade if we did an after-school sport.

It seems that's not the case anymore either.
