School sucks...

i feel i am at odds with most people whove already posted. I like math the most out of any other real subject in school, followed by chemistry. The only math i didnt like was geometry, and that was just because proofs for triangles sucked. I think i enjoyed calculus the best though, and i really think it has to do with the teacher, i have for the most part had teachers i liked, and my calculus teacher was also my precalculus teacher, but she has so far been my favorite teacher ive had. Calculus for us was really fun, and i dont know how, but she had a gift for teaching us. To put how good i am at calculus to the test i got a 4 on my AP test for Calc 1/AB, and on the placement test for the community college i went to i went into the test without any sort of calculator except the one on the computer screen which is a even less powerful than the calculator that comes on windows, and still got a 74 on the college level math, which is calculus, where most people get in the 20 range, so im sort of a math guru, it just comes naturally, but english, now that is a whole other subject, i didnt know what adverbs and the such were until i was in 7th grade, and i looked them up cause i was tired of feeling like an idiot. the sad thing was that we learned the parts of speech in 3rd grade, and i made it to 7th before learning them, and no one knew, but thats public schooling in an agricultural county for you. we get out for the county fair because so many people miss school on the livestock judging day.

yeah it really sucks. all grades are a's and b's then bam d. I should check into that and see if somehow they will take it. Because I'm with you Tallulahgreen I swear my brain isn't wired to do any sort of math other then +-/x. But damn it's crazy to hear ppl say they like math...jimmy how do you do it man? want to make some $$? lol
Actually i should find someone I know that knows this shit, because I can retake it online and that could be anyone doing it, it's 100% online lol.

I'm 100% native fluent in spanish from living abroad but math, whole nother story. I have been having nightmares about formulas and stuff lately, probably because it's what's on my mind when I'm crashin out....that's just not right ya know lol:wtf:

i mean, the best part of calculus to me, was the fact that it was an AP class, so the atmosphere was very relaxed, out of an hour and a half class 45 minutes was spent doing about 3 problems, and the other 45 was spent going over the problems, the cool thing was that we could talk in the middle of the problems to each other, and the classes went by really quickly, cause you loose yourself in the problems. The only sucky part was waking up about 1.5 hours early every other day during AP review to practice for the AP test, i think that when it is still dark outside that it is way to early to go to school. everyone should go to school for 3 months at 6:30 in the morning so they know what stupid really is.
