Ouch, pbl. :wiltshock:

Anyway,

a. I started yesterday.
b. Spanish, Art, Literature, blah blah blah.
c. We used to be the injuns... it amazed me how they got away with being called that for so long. [think: 1960.] o_O Now we're just the "indians," complete with a giant chief-head for a mascot. It's still bad, but not *as* bad, I guess? And then I hear next year we'll be the Titans. I was hoping we'd get to be the "Lemonsters," which is a pun on the town's name, or maybe the "Limestones." Having a giant brick of limestone for your school mascot would be so cool.

Oh, the College I am going to starts over every quarter, so I will enroll in October. After that I start in January. Until then I am in search of work.

Hmmm... Well, this is SCHOOL related, so...

What grade is everyone going into? I'm going into 11th.

Freshman! (9th grade, not college.)

What? Your school lets you do AP Calculus in the 11th grade, KZ?

Not normally, but I skipped a year of math. Everyone else in my grade is going to be taking Pre-Calculus or Algebra II. This way I can take Calculus II seinor year. I skipped a bunch of stuff, currently I'm only Fifteen.

Wow! You must be really smart. And your school sounds really good. My high school only teaches up to AP calculus. There's no calculus II.

I think Calculus II is just more theory and stuff, not more math. The school systems NEAR phildelphia are really good ones.

I'm not really that smart... I just learned math early becuase we had this dinky little computer game called 'Math Mission' on the Atari, which is an old computer, and it was basically like taking a long math test with basic functions, just with pretty colors. I played it a lot when I was around first and second grade. That and my dad taught us math with M&M's, so we learned quick.

Trust me, your math teachers could teach integrals with M&M's and the kids'd learn.

Yeah. All the schools in the East are really good. The schools where I live could use a little improvement.

LOL. My parents taught me math, too, but not with M&M's. Probably would've learned faster with M&M's. Mmmm...Chocolatey goodness...

Exactly: you learn faster with M&M's. I mean, I've known this formula: .5N^2+.5N since I was little, because it was the forumla of how many M&M's were in the triangle. I figured out it was the third diagonal level of Pascal's triangle and all sorts of connections later.

The schools near me need improvement too. The entire educational system has a long way to go before it can be really considered good again.

Ah! M&M's. How they do improve the world!

Did you get to eat them when you finished a problem?
