[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just curious why you did that? What did you take for math in 11 and 12?[/quote] I did it because I could. There was a test/search to identify kids who might benefit from intense acceleration, and I was one of a couple dozen from the metro area to qualify. It was a little like getting into the Blair magnet --there was prestige to it. I could have stayed in the program in 11th and 12th and taken calc II etc., but in truth I was only "pretty OK" in math, and not really a true math geek, so I stopped after calc. There was no requirement that I actually take 4 years of math in HS, so I ended up with two free periods in HS. I audited calculus in 12th to keep things fresh and did some tutoring, but that was it. I don't regret doing it, but I am also glad I quit after one year of calc.[/quote]
