Can students get the help they need to improve their skills without losing their elective class options?
This depends on a school’s staff and financial resources as well as the needs of its students. Extra help can occur at a variety of times and in a variety of settings. For example, schools can offer before-school, after-school, Saturday and summer school programs, so that students won’t necessarily have to drop one or more elective courses. Some students may also benefit from tutoring or, for a more self-driven student, an independent study, which allows students to work on their own and check in regularly with a teacher.
