Oops. St...Oh wait, I mixed up quarter and semester. Oops. Still, I haven't the room to take those extra things as school courses. It's just that they have inefficient learning methods. If there are really places that much worse, I have an ocean of pity for the students at them. WCPSS is pretty blasted terrible.<br /><br />They don't like "different" people - those students need to be treated to become one of "the herd". I refuse to conform to a crowd, even if it results in discrimination and such. The reason I'm not in "smart" classes is that the county freaked up my schedule and didn't bother to fix it. But I'm making the best of it, as I do (being an optimist and all), such as reading Honors books on my own. I don't believe in rushing, but it should be a relief to be away from this one day. Of course I shall still talk to you and all my other beloved friends, but we'll be "out of the storm," as it were.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08594723837161402338noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8961373206387568177.post-80379111165947503092011-09-19T11:50:43.688-10:002011-09-19T11:50:43.688-10:00I don't know that homeschoolers necessarily le...I don't know that homeschoolers necessarily learn more- just learn more efficiently (which in some cases amounts to the same thing). And actually, World History is 18 weeks. The elaboration is what AP World History/AP Human Geography is for. <br /><br />Maybe your English classes are different than mine have been, though, because the only thing we haven't read all the way through was the Odyssey.<br /><br />"Grow up and get out" is a serious problem, of course, and learning on one's own is always good, but Wake County seriously is TONS better than a lot of places. Yes, it doesn't live up to what some people wish it would, and there probably are more-effective (for some students) modes of education, but other than the lack of budget, we're pretty good at what we do.elfarmy17https://www.blogger.com/profile/09127074008716633538noreply@blogger.com
