    You're contradicting yourself.

    No, I'm not. You're taking it out of context. "John, no one here has taken a real math class (algebra)" So I said, "No I took that a year early."

    And even if I was, so? I didn't say "I don't have that useless character flaw."

    I didn't saw "I don't have that useless character flaw" either; I said I do :)

    Nonetheless, let's put it behind us. This thread has lost its point.

    john stop braging, anyone with half a brain can take algebra 1 in the 7th grade, heck iw as supposed to take it in 6th but then an itnerdistrict transfer palced me in the wrong class and I was stupid and didn't complain.

    what does require skill is keeping at ti even if you feal you can f' off. last year(11th grade) I decided to slack off, i took calc 1 at a local community college and such said slacking off resulted in em dropping the class...

    good news though is, this year, AP calc is relatively easy.

    I'll take cal my senior year. *shrugs* we don't change classes with each semester, either. In my school, pre-cal is as far as you can go, unless you skipped a grade.
