#in my heart AP has additional volunteer requirements too

[thebluestbluewords]

happy holiday break, let’s talk class schedules

According to the Secrets of Auradon Prep tie-in book, AP runs on a rotating block schedule. Six periods per day, plus lunch. Pretty reasonable for a high school class schedule.

Homeroom once a week feels a little weird to me, but after an unofficial poll of some friends, it’s apparently not too uncommon for American high schools to only have it at the start of the week.

It’s sort of nice that the students get a study period every day, instead of having their free block/study block worked into the rotation with the rest of their classes.

In Mal’s Diary, we get another look at her schedule.

She’s in most of the same classes as the sample from before, but no chemistry class. Is Mal not interested in chemistry, or did Fairy Godmother decide it was more important for her to learn about evil fairies instead? Are there other “cultural history” type classes for other students, or did Fairy Godmother and whoever planned the class schedules for the other VKs just decide to pile on allll of the history/social studies classes for the VK to educate them in the ways of Auradon?

I think it’s funnier for me personally if Fairy Godmother received transcripts from Dragon Hall, looked at the VKs’ classes so far, and decided to say ‘fuck it’ on math and science classes, what these kids need is Auradon cultural education. Woodsmen, Fairies, Auradon History, and straight-up Goodness 101. One singular math class will take care of the rest, they’ll be fine.

#descendants #I don’t think that this is an especially balanced class schedule but I assume they’re playing catchup #with like #evil math and science classes #so they’re all set on those and it’s time for AURADON SOCIAL STUDIES #mathematics is a weird name for a high school class but maybe it’s a basic like assessment/general class?? #usually it would be like #algebra #geometry #trig #I know Evie’s in chemistry #but are the boys in science classes? #in the version of these kids that lives in my heart they let Carlos take physics #purely because I think he would enjoy it #I’ll reblog this later with my own class schedules I drew up for these kids based on the state requirements I grew up with #in my heart AP has additional volunteer requirements too #due to being a fancy rich kid school #but based on this schedule it seems like the core requirements are uhh #extremely flexible
