Talk:IHSA

Major and minor categories

IHSA uses this terminology to distinguish top-level categories (science, math, etc.) from second-level categories (physics, chemistry, algebra, geometry, etc.). It is confusing to use the terms to mean something different here. The current phrasing of the page also implies the identified top-level ("major"; sic) categories are no longer in use, but they are, modulo nonsubstantive naming tweaks and substantive weight reallocations.

Pretend I don't have an MS in Physics, and just in case anyone else reads this ... please translate everything after the second sentence. Tom Egan (talk) 01:16, 28 June 2017 (CDT)

The first sentence under "Distribution" ("Well into the 21st century, the IHSA format had four major categories: Math, Science, Language Arts, and Social Studies. Fine Arts and Miscellaneous were minor categories.") makes it sound like the IHSA distribution no longer has those six categories. It does, so that sentence should be reworded (and maybe others should too). Jonah (talk) 11:28, 28 June 2017 (CDT)

"Cross-Curricular" category

It is actually called "Interdisciplinary", and is still listed as part of the distribution in the 2016–2017 Terms & Conditions. Was it removed for 2017–2018? Jonah (talk) 23:47, 29 June 2017 (CDT)
