The "standard" day in my DD14s high school is 6 periods (numbered 2 through 7). Students who want to squeeze more into their day can take an early bird, or period 1. If you have booked up periods 1 - 7 without including a PE and don't have a PE waiver for that trimester (you can obtain one, each, of: academic waiver, band waiver, sports waiver) you have to take late bird PE, which would effectively be period 8.

For gifted children, doing nothing is the wrong choice.
