Drivers ed does count as a "wellness" course. So he could take it and have a study hall. BUT, DS really likes the CAD. And *I* don't mind him missing the first week, but DS does. (Why a class you might actually learn something in for a change doesn't count as a "wellness" course is another question, and one I hesitate to ask the school because it sounds snarky)

It seems so simple, but it isn't, everyone in the house has an opinion on this, and it's all tainted by the facts that our kids' schedules always have a snafu, that none of us had Driver Ed on the radar for this semester, generally that we don't like being blindsided.
