I take choir and ASB this year and I can't imagine having to choose between the two. Electives serve as a break between core classes and it gives the student a chance to pick something they are passionate about or interested in.

Not that the homework is hard but that I often have after school activities that take up alot of my time after school. If there were a period like tutorial that was made for doing homework preferably being the last period in the day I think that would be a great improvement.
