Okay, I'm a Junior in high school. To graduate, we have to have 28 credits, for the extended diploma (that's what I'm going for. My motto in life so far has been, "Why apply yourself, when mediocrity will let you slide by.") you need 32 credits, well, one of the other requirements is either taking Chemistry/Physics/or Intro to Chem. Phys. Well I thought I should take both Chemistry and Physics.....Well, so I did, and I'm starting to see how retarded it was. So today we learned more about the prefixes for the metric system. I know them but most don't (American children are retarded you see....), so we go over Conversion Factor in Physics today, and then, in fourth period (we have block schedule) we do somewhat the same thing with the prefixes....And I'm sitting there, and the other kids in the class are saying things like 'Oie, this isn't tooooo hard.' 'Mrs. Lady teacher person, I don't get this hur science stuff, what am I gonna' this for when I murry a rich person.' (okay not really, but honestly it isn't that hard....) So, I had to sit there and listen as the teacher some sort of retarded analogy with steps for something I had done earlier, and something that was much harder......SO yeah, dumb move. Any of you have any experiences like that.

Yes, there are alot of idiot American kids... if you want out of that, then get into Honors or Advanced Placement classes.

I find that usually, we learn the same thing over and over each year, but each time, with more detail... Except when I take a brand new course, like Chemistry (Honors, of course ) and I did not know nearly anything I have learned this year. It's tough too... but after a day or two of utter confusion, I magically understand it perfectly.

I know what you guys mean the stuff that they teach in high school is the same stuff that we learned in middle school it can be so embarassing just sitting down in class learning the same thing. I could feel my brain shrinking sometimes it's so bad. I'm so glad I'm out of high school
