<p>I see. I can’t really explain that to you because idk either! Haha
It hasn’t in any way made me feel that I can slack off but I don’t think that’s what you meant. Still get bummed when I miss more than one on a quiz but that’s the CCer in me.</p>
<p>wat r u guise doin? Math too hurd. lets talk aboot cawledges yo.</p>
<p>Hi everyone,</p>
<p>I’m just wondering, is online freelancing legal at 16 years old? (Programming, design, manual repetitive tasks, proofreading, etc.)
In the UK, you can be self employed at 16 (I’m on this site because I’d like to study in the USA) but I’m just wondering… if you apply for a freelance job, complete it, be paid, and then the client finds out somehow that you’re a minor, could you be sued?
I have no income and after 30+ rejections for the limited amount of vacancies in this town… I don’t feel that I’d be able to find a job in retail, fast food or customer service any time soon. I’m not having my parents deal with me being sued or fined (since I’m a minor, and they’d be liable), since there is nothing forcing me to do this.</p>
<p>But help with legalities of freelance working and payment would be helpful. I’ve studied business in school and have a GCSE in it, but I only know the theory. Not self employment where you have no expenses, are a sole trader, and a minor.</p>
<p>So if anyone has any knowledge or experience with it, please PM me or just post. I don’t really know where else to ask, and there are a lot of overachievers (it’s a compliment :P) here, anyway. If you’re one of the people who have started their own business (i.e., not sole trader freelancing, but with employees and products/services), that would also be useful to know about.</p>
<p>I’m not sure what I’m taking next year, but I’lll probably take a math class at some college or harvard extension school
besides that the possibilities are:
jazz band
orchestra
short story
latin 3 (or 4)
self study eng lang com p
physics c
stupid gym classes
ap econ
field research</p>
<p>Nice schedule. There was an AP class I wanted to take next year but my school got rid of it. Mine are going to be a mix of honors, ap, and college courses. I can’t believe it’s going to be my last year.</p>
<p>Exam week is finally over for me. My hardest exams by far were AP U.S. History and AP English Language & Composition. There will be huge curves on both of the exams, but still. The AP USH exam had a lot of “surprise” questions, most of them weren’t covered explicitly in the review. The AP English exam had a lot of time pressure. It wasn’t particularly hard, but few people finished early.</p>
<p>Hardest exams for me included Calc and a tie for second between APUSH and Chem but both much easier than Calc</p>
<p>Semester:over. I got all A+'s, with the exception of being .07 points away from an A in AP Spanish.
Next years schedule:
AP Calc AB
AP Calc BC
AP English Literature
AP USH
Honors Wind Ensemble 4
AP Spanish 6
AP Spanish Literature
AP Computer Science
Going from 4 APs this year to seven next year. Happy day.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>What on earth? Honors? 4? What is your school’s band program like? (Also, what do you play? :P)</p>
<p>My schedule:</p>
<p>Wind Ensemble
Jazz I
Calc III
AP Government and Politics
AP Physics C
AP Environmental Science
AP Language and Composition
Teachers Assistant for some teacher …</p>
<p>Hey guys, did you all recently get an email about some lawsuit that Facebook has right now pending against them? (or whatever, I’m not all into civics and government) Its basically like with the Nutella case they had awhile back where you just filed a claim and if it was approved, you’d get like $10. I filed a claim and hoping for $10 I never had.</p>
<p>@flamewire At my school, if you can demonstrate proficiency (the only way to do so is to place highly in the all district band; there are 6 districts in the state), then you can apply for honors credit. I placed second in my district for tenor saxophone, so I qualify for honors. Also, it is only available to juniors and seniors. I go to regular wind ensemble, but have to write a few research papers and fill out a pitch tendency chart for my instrument.</p>
<p>My schedule this year, so far all A’s, school doesn’t do APs until senior year and there is no honors classes:</p>
<p>English (American literature)
PE ( blah, my lowest grade)
Global History
College level Spanish IV
Music Theory II ( Sit for AP music theory?)
Chemistry
College level statistics (sit for AP statistics?)
Senior band
Pre-calculus</p>
<p>Next years tentative schedule:</p>
<p>Ap calc ab
Ap english lit
Apush ( and that it’s all three APs my school has)
Physics
Health/PE (required to take both of these)
Senior band
Historical or poetry analysis
Astronomy and meteorology?</p>
<p>Sigh… I wish we had more</p>
<p>I’m currently taking AP Chem and last quarter I took AP Psych., which has been my favorite class so far. </p>
<p>Are any of you taking the SAT/ACT’s this spring?</p>
<p>Dartmouth will no longer give credit for AP classes, starting with the class of 2018. :’(</p>
<p>@Reason2325 Yes I am taking all of the remaining SAT test dates for this year (including next week), except for May which is when I am taking my subject tests. I am also taking the ACT in June.</p>
<p>@Redpanda5 basically all the schools I am looking at cap how many AP classes you can get credit for and/or will just put you in a harder class without giving you credit…</p>
<p>That’s my plan too. I took the PSat and did pretty well. Right now I’m just studying on the sections that I didn’t do well on (math).</p>
<p>The AP system came under fire recently, when Rob Jenkins asked in a column for The Chronicle of Higher Education, “Can we please dispense with the fiction that Advanced Placement courses in any way resemble college courses?”</p>
<p>Has he even taken an AP course? I distinctly remember my AP courses being loads harder than any college course I’ve ever seen.</p>
<p>^
Entirely depends on the school, really. The AP classes at my school are sort of a joke.</p>
<p>
AP classes are taught different than regular high school classes. As for he class being hard compared to college classes, it shouldn’t matter because the test is testing you to see if you learned the material. If 50% of the students who take the tests fail them then obviously the tests are somewhat difficult. Now you could argue that the class took to prepare for that test wasn’t good enough but I’ll argue that later. [Why</a> 50% of Students Fail AP Exams and How to Change That | Fox Business](<a href=“http://www.foxbusiness.com/personal-finance/2012/04/25/why-50-students-fail-ap-exams-and-how-to-change-that/]Why”>http://www.foxbusiness.com/personal-finance/2012/04/25/why-50-students-fail-ap-exams-and-how-to-change-that/) . Now I can’t find it but would like to know if someone in college who took the same course that’s exempt for AP can pass the AP after they take that class. I think it will be somewhere just above 50%</p>
<p>You guys have some nice elective/academic options.
My schedule this year:
AP chem
Honors Gov
Honors Econ
Honors Physics
AP Lit
Honors Precalc
Honors Spanish 4</p>
<p>As for next year, I have no idea what I’m going to take. My school doesn’t offer much.
I wanted to take AP Physics, but the teacher who used to teach it is no longer at our school. The teacher who would be teaching it is a complete joke. I’ll probably do Calc 1, Spanish 5, and I don’t know what else.</p>
