Educating Our Parents: Understanding the Camden District Curriculum
Kershaw County’s high schools offer English elective courses such as Speech, Journalism, and Newspaper Production. Students can take College Prep courses in English or follow an Honors Pathway that eventually has students taking AP English starting their junior year. The district also offers an SAT prep course for sophomores, juniors, and seniors who plan to attend college. In these courses, students critical reading and writing skills are emphasized. They read a variety of literary classics and non-fiction works, and develop the ability to analyze a range of texts. They also learn how to write analytically about the texts they are reading.
Students who take general math courses follow this sequence from their freshman to senior year: Algebra 1, Geometry, Algebra 2, and Probability and Statistics. Students who follow a College Prep sequence may take either Algebra 1, Geometry, Algebra 2, and Pre-Calculus or Geometry, Algebra 2, Pre-Calculus, and a college-level Probability and Statistics course. Students who are on the Honors Pathway take the classes as follows: Honors Geometry, Honors Algebra 2, Honors Pre-Calculus or a college-level math course, and Honors Differential and AP Calculus.

Chalk Talk: Commonly Confused Words
Students often mix up commonly confused words. One such example is "pastor" and "pasture"--the former meaning a clergyman and the latter meaning farmland where animals graze. "Patience" and "patients" are commonly mixed up. Patience means to be calm even when dealing with a difficult individual or situation. Patients is the plural form of an individual who is seen by a doctor. Another example is "peek" and "peak"; peek means to take a quick, sneaky look, while peak is the high point of something (e.g.: of a mountain). It becomes even more complicated when you throw in "pique"--to stimulate interest. One more: "Perspective" refers to a person's viewpoint of something, and "prospective" is synonymous with words such as probable and likely to happen.
