So let's hold back the hard working kids in the name of 'equality'. What
bull****.

Freedom Isn't Free!
Would be great to sue the school board themselves for harming the non dumb
kids. I can really see this hurting kids. I was a bored school kid
myself. High IQ, and slow classes. Bad study habits by the time I got to
late high school and college because of the lack of challenges.
I was pretty bored with school myself. I was making As and Bs screwing
off most of the time. That was in private school. In public school I
wasn't even sure I had to show up to get good grades. I could just
thumb through the books and get 90% on the tests. They basically just
took 180 days to teach a book you could read in a day.
Reading a Calculus book in a day will not make you very good at it!
Dunno Calculus wasn't a high school course when I was there and if
Algebra 2 is being dropped in high school there I doubt they are
getting calculus either.
I did get as much out of reading the book as I got from the teacher in
Algebra. I was done with all of the required math courses by the time
I got to my junior year anyway and the only required course I had in
my senior year was english. That was mostly a writing course. (English
composition).
I didn't spend a lot of time in class. I would write my papers, turn
then in and go get a beer.
Wow. I would sometimes sneak out of high school at lunchtime and walk a
long block to a local Italian deli for a first-class sub. We weren't
supposed to do that and on occasion I'd run into the assistant principal
there. He was there for the same reason, to get a sub. We'd walk back to
the school together, silently agreeing to not mention out "encounter" to
anyone.
