<p>^^^title is question. I think this only applies to private schools though…</p>
<p>My school does. If your a incoming freshman AND new to that school, you can’t take Honors Physics (but you can take Honors Geometry).</p>
<p>This kinda frustrates me, because I know a lot of Physics from my middle school (in fact, about 1/2 of the curriculum I’ve learned before). So I’m not being challenged (in that class) because I’m a new student.</p>
<p>Did this happen to anyone else?</p>
<p>Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeesssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss
sooooooooooooo annoyinggggggggggggggg</p>
<p>glad I’m not the only one… >.></p>
<p>new students cant even be in a sports team for their first year</p>
<p>what?!?!?! that’s crazy!!!</p>
<p>lots of my freshman friends are/were on the basketball team, football team, soccer team, etc. I’m on the tennis team o.O</p>
<p>Wow! that’s really horrible! I’m sorry >.> wow… what a silly rule…</p>
<p>Physics is generally an upper level course which at my school you need to be in at least Pre-Calculus to take. If you don’t know the required math, you’ll fall behind. Also, it’s not really penalizing if every incoming student is subject to the same rules.</p>
<p>Not every incoming student is penalized.</p>
<p>At my school, it is from grades Pre-K to 12. If you join the high school as a new student (to the high school AND the school itself), your penalized.</p>
<p>There are 3 different Physics: Normal level, Honors, and AP. AP is only for Seniors though.</p>
<p>At my high school new students have to take a semester of a course, then they can take an exam to be placed into an upper-level class.</p>
<p>If a school does that type of stuff, I’d complain. Ask to be given a pre-test exam or something.</p>
<p>it’s too late now >.> If we were at Chapter 4, they’d already be on Chapter 7 (or something like that)… >.<</p>
<p>Next semester i will transfer to another school i don’t know if i would be penalized.Hope not.</p>
<p>hopefully not :/</p>
<p>good luck!</p>
