<p>i’m bad at math, so…</p>
<p>What’s up with this whole “self study” thing?
I just though today about how many advantages the people behind me have.
Well, the people behind me will have better gifted education. For instance, now a parent could talk to a parent and have their child finish: Algebra I, Geometry, Algebra II, Pre-cal, Calculus BC and 1 more year long (or 2 more semester courses) by the time they were finished with 7th grade. (Via the north carolina virtual public school.)
Will this probably happen? Not likely…</p>
<p>But the student could then take many other courses (3 year long or 6 semester).</p>
<p>With the cooperation of principals… a student in my county (Where Algebra I was the highest you could finish in a year… and that was with awe.) could now technically be a National AP scholar and probably finish high school both in their 9th grade year. (By working on classes in middle school.)
Wow…
Anyway… back to my NCVPS courses…</p>
<p>I wish I could accelerate in English, something I’m actually very talented at, rather than math :(</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>They also have more competition.
There was a time when it was considered unusual to take calculus in high school. Back then, people who took calculus stood out. Now that it’s offered to more people, you have to go further, and take differential equations or whatever. (I expect this trend to continue.)</p>
<p>Not to mention this means people behind you aren’t going to have as much time to learn the material, which means they won’t be able to study it in as much depth. (Think of people in China, who don’t take calculus in high school, but whose grasp of lower-level material is typically far superior to ours.) Is it really an “advantage” if you get to take abstract algebra and complex analysis, but only understand it at a shallow, superficial level?</p>
<p>You’re actually pretty lucky. :)</p>

<p>Technically I’m a year behind in math (doesn’t that make me a rebel or something? :))</p>
<p>Freshman Year: Alg 1
Sophomore Year: Geometry
Junior Year: Alg 2
Senior Year: Functions, Statistics, Trigonometry</p>
<p>My school requires that we take FST even though it’s a repeat of Algebra 2 and completely useless. I wish they would just let me skip to Pre-Cal–I’m like the only student who does her homework anyways.</p>
<p>precalc and AB aren’t necessary. algebra II –> AP BC is perfectly fine.</p>
<p>However, I can’t help but feel that there shouldn’t be a rush to get into calculus either. Most of us won’t do anything math beyond Linear Algebra, or Analysis or Number Theory, so I don’t see the issue with being “advanced.”</p>
<p>Dude, you just brought back a year old thread, nice work!</p>
<p>oops :-(</p>

<p>Lolz at you people who go from Precalc (or just Alg 2) to BC. At my school, AB must precede BC. 'Cause “Calc BC” is actually “Calc C/Multivariable Calc/screw off after January and all get 5’s on the test.”</p>
<p>You don’t even really need Precalc for BC though. The actual test is very limited.</p>
<p>Well, in 9th grade I took independent study.</p>
<p>Wherein I built a time machine, went back in time, and taught Euclid geometry and Leibniz calculus.</p>
<p>I wanted to do it in eight, but my parents took me to some ridiculously awesome foreign country instead. ****faces, the lot of them.</p>
<p>…Lulz. I’m actually in BC Calc right now (as a senior). 'S pretty sweet.</p>
