Question

We live in Texas...If That helps?!?

Please list like what subjects and like Am I supposed to do like driver's ed?? In Ninth grade?? Pleas no answers saying no yes maybe, I need a list of subjects thank-you!!!!

Answer 1

Typically a 9th grader's schedule would look something like this:

1.) English 1 (You would probably read: Romeo and Juliet, Huckleberry Finn, Of Mice and Men, Lord of the Rings, etc. and write essays on all)

2.) Algebra 1 (Basic Algebra and Pre-Algebra concepts)

3.) Physical and Earth Science (geology, plate tectonics, topographic maps, astronomy, how to calculate mass, density, velocity, etc.)

4.) U.S. History

5.) P.E.

and a couple electives like art or music

Answer 2

9th graders generally take World Geography, English, Algebra I or II, General Science.  They also take a fine arts elective (band, art, orchestra, drama)  You might take Health and definitely a foreign language.

Answer 3

I agree with the above 3 answers, they are all right.

Answer 4

If you go online to the Texas Board of Ed, you will find what is called a Scope and Sequence - it will tell you the subjects and standards for classes taught in each grade.  (It may be under "Standards" or "State Standards".)

From that, you should be able to figure out what the ps kids in your area are learning :)

Answer 5

biology

english 1

whatever math skill your in [alg.1,2;geometry.etc..]

life skills

my school we have 2 electives we can choose like graphic arts or a language

Answer 6

The website linked below has the specific things you are required to know/be able to do, separated by subject.  Just click the link for the subject you're studying.  There's also a link for graduation requirements, so that you know which classes you would have to meet the requirements for.

Answer 7

If your mom homeschools you, then you already have a curriculum - that is what you need to follow.  Drivers Ed. in any place I've ever heard of is in 10th grade, but there's no such thing as "private drivers ed", per se.  What I mean is, being homeschooled, you will have to take lessons from a driving school privately, which is extremely expensive.  Also, you may already need to be 16.  BEWARE!!  You may need to wait until you are 18 before you can apply for a license if you don't take some kind of official class, however.
