Throughout his high school career he selected the highest level classes he could in math and science, selecting honors level for all others. As a senior he had room for an elective, and instead of choosing what the rest of us might have considered a fun elective, he chose Linear Algebra. This is on top of BC Calculus, AP Physics (elec & Magnetism), AP compSci. This was his own choosing.

no need to brag............ jokes! i wish i was like that

Tough decision, but I wouldnt see anything really wrong with your proposal. Also, where did you get those stats from?

Wow! thanks for all the replies.. i havent really check this til now. haha sorry!
my parents said no. i did have a source on hand, schoolmatters.com, and i showed them the website. the only reason my parents wouldn't let me is because my mom didn't want to take me every morning, when its like 30 minutes way and she takes me to school most of the time anyway in the mornings. anyway, thanks so much for all your opinions im going to go back and read them now. i just quickly scanned themm.

love this siteD
and the new look.

thoughts from a fellow student:
i found out quickly that i didn't like high school very much.. i really just was not into anything, so i put my focus to academics. i am 17 years old, i work 30-40 hrs a week at a full service gas station.. i graduated from high school four days ago, and i'll have a 2 year general degree from Utah Valley University at the end of summer semester 2009.. and then a bacherlors degree in computer networking at the end of spring 2011.. I graduated a semester early from high school with a 3.6 cumulative GPA... i don't want to boast or anything, but i'm just saying that it is possible.. i'm not extraordinary or anything, you just have to set your mind to it, keep up with your homework. even if it is a teacher you hate, just lay down and do what they ask..

If your high school guidance counselors are idiots (like mine were) get a list of graduation requirements, and plan your years out. If your school offers summer school as an option to advance, do it. don't be afraid to take the hard classes.. they aren't that tough, if you pay attention and study.

anyway, just wanted to give you a different outlook on high school... if you don't like it, just get it done quick..

Great presentation BTW..

Good Luck
