Private high schools and middle school transcripts? I am currently planning to apply to several different private high schools for the 2009-2010 academic year, which would be my sophomore year in high school. I will be a freshman at my public high school this coming year, and will apply to these private schools in this time. My question is, will the admissions offices obtain only my high school transcript, or will they look both at my middle school AND high school transcripts? I am hoping for it to not be the latter choice. Thank you for your time and consideration in replying to my question.

How do electives work out in high schools? I remember in my sixth grade year that Art was an elective instead of a mandatory class like in elementary. Does it vary from school to school? What are the more common electives in high schools? Is there a class where you can learn to play the piano? If not, what is band class like? Is that an elective? What about cooking classes? Are they electives, or do they still exist in NA?
How do those "high school performing art schools" work? Are they normal high schools, but just focused on the arts? Do they learn things like math and reading, etc?

How do high schools select the books they are going to use for a curriculum? Do the teachers themselves pick the books they want to use, or is it mandated by the state education department or local school board? If someone else decides, what if the teacher wanted to use a specific text book that met the curriculum requirements and they thought was much better and superior to the one some education administrator in an office picked instead? In college a lot of professors write their own books and then you have to buy their book. I'm just wondering how High Schools do it. And what if a teacher wrote their own text book that meets minimal curriculum requirements? Could they do the same in their own HS class, require that book as the text instead of some other one that the rest of the state/county is using?

How do colleges look at different High Schools? I go to a pretty prestigious high school where the academics are pretty tough.

what is the best way to advertise to high schools? i have developed a small but unique curriculum which i think high schools would be interested in buying and teaching their students in the form of a one-time half-hour class. i cant go into detail about what the curriculum is about but i dont think anyones dont this before and i think it would be a very attractive idea to high school administrators. it would cost them about $100 to get my entire package which would cover 1000 students. whats the best way to advertise this to them? can i just mail them a postcard that shows my curriculum (this would be very appropriate for the type of class this is)? who do I mail (principal? counselors? teachers?) can they even buy outside curriculum like this?

Thanks for your help!
What is the smoking policy for students in Madison, WI high schools? It doesn't matter if you smoke or hate smoking, that isn't related to the question. I am asking about smoking on school grounds, like during lunch break, at high schools in Madison, WI. I have heard from a student that it is maybe not allowed but the policy is never enforced. True?
Should high schools set aside a smoking area for their students? Should high schools just bite the bullet and set aside an area for students who smoke, or should they continue the good fight against smoking? The school I currently teach at does not allow smoking on campus, but smoking in the bathroom is in full effect. The staff works overtime to run students out, but it just seems like it never ends. I'm not seeing much in regards to punishment for smoking here either (it may be different in different areas). What do you think? I'd love to hear your opinions.
