Reply #21: Well, I got a high school degree in Arts and Communications. [View All]

Our public school school district began giving out degrees based on 7 areas of academic and career focus. I wanted to go into the arts, so I chose the Arts and Communications track. Each aspect required a different amount of classes, just like a college major. For instance, on my track one year of science was replaced with an extra year of an art class or literature class. I had to take three years of science, but not the four that was required previously. But, to prepare me for what I wanted to do, this made sense. I got an extra art class slot that would not have been available if I had to take Physics.

I think this is actually a pretty good idea, if it is broadly focused.
