<p>LOL@most of the comments above… sorry if I sounded too cocky. I wasn’t trying to insult the American education system, really (besides, I’m an American citizen too). I think it just came off the wrong way. I was just trying to explain why there weren’t any “advanced” courses in my curriculum. Yes, I know that lots of gifted ppl back in US take calculus at an early age too, but it is mandatory in my school in freshman year (<= again, NOT trying to be cocky). Sorry, my interpersonal skillz suck big time.</p>
