Sometimes they didn't decide what class they wanted, sometimes they want a different teacher, and sometimes they just want to be with their friends. Mrs. Harper said this is becoming an unfortunate habit because it can mess up students trying for Core 40 or Honors diplomas. It also greatly complicates tracking book fees because some students switch from a book course to a study hall so they need to be reimbursed. Other times students end up owing the school more money than they did at registration. She also said it can be a distraction for the counselors because it takes a lot of time to change so many schedules.
Students still can change their classes if they fail or for a legitimate reason.
Otherwise, they have until two weeks after this school year ends to make schedule corrections.
