<p>My school uses the CSCOPE program which has been adopted by around 70% of all the public schools in my state. They basically give the teachers pre-planned lessons to use everyday. We aren’t allowed to ask questions about any information not covered in the lessons. This software has ‘replaced’ textbooks, so I can’t even try to read the chapters for more information. The lessons are written for the on-level kids but they are used in my honors classes, and I find them way too easy. The only classes that don’t have to follow the CSCOPE curriculum are AP classes. I tried to fill my schedule with AP classes for next year, but there are only a couple you can take as a sophmore.
What can I do to feel more challenged an interested at school? Are there any online school options or classes I can take outside of school in addition to my normal classes? My parent really can’t afford for me to go to a private school, but I learn nothing from the progams in place at my current school. Does anyone have some advice?</p>
<p>In all honesty, school is rarely ever challenging or enriching. Even my AP classes can turn into jokes pretty quickly.</p>

Oh it can certainly be challenging, but that alone doesn’t make it enriching.</p>
<p>If you really want to feel challenged, try to solve the Hodge conjecture.</p>
<p>Take a textbook to school and read it during class.</p>
