my sister took algebra 2 in her freshman year, and i will too...i win! edit: but here it goes mg1, mg2, mg3, then algebra 1a and algebra 1b (or algebra 1 combined) the geometry, then algebra 2. you can start in any of the mg's, depending on your level. i started with mg3 in 6th grade, than took algebra 1 last year and i'll be taking geometry this year ;D

lol... Algebra 2 (for our school) is the 2nd hardest class a sophomore can take... only class that's harder would be Honors Algebra 2
Has your sister taken Geometry yet?

Oh wow sophmore year was really hard. At least at my school because your freshman year the teachers go easy on you but then they stop being easy on you in your sophmore year. I am going to be a senior next year. crazy I will be in the oldest grade. I like preppy clothes but I don't wear them because I don't want people to think of me as a follower.

^wow...that was SUCH a double standard.
you let people influence you into thinking that you will LOOK influenced if you wear the clothes that you like?
just wear the clothes you like..then you won't be following their "rules"
personally i don't like preppy clothes, so that's why i don't wear them. lol

lol... what did you hear was so bad? Classes were easy... AND DON'T SAY I TOOK EASY CLASSES (Algebra 2, AP World History, Chemistry, and French 3 were my hardest classes) People weren't mean... (atleast the seniors that aren't jerks)... but then again... I'm a fairly large person and most people would be afraid of making fun of me even though I wouldn't hurt a fly The only thing I could see a problem to be for sophomore year is if your parents expectations for school were REALLY high Meh, I took Algebra 2 this year. I'll take Honors Geometry next year. And World History, AP Biology, Honors English, French 2, and Theology (Scriptures). My school's pretty hard, and everyone's said that sophomore and junior year are bad. It's a Catholic all-girls school, where most people are aiming for straight A's...

ouch... I'm lazy and I'll never get straight A's again in my life (last time i did it was 4th grade)
that REALLY sux... and thanx, Grindylow, the reason why I asked DP if her sister's taken Geometry is b/c some schools switch Algebra 2 w/ Geometry
Algebra Geometry Algebra II
or
Algebra Algebra II Geometry
lol... my Graphing calculator got stolen...
stealing GC's is a very big "underground" business at our school b/c they cost so damn much... I'll kill whoever stole mine...

Meh, for us, as a freshman you can either go into Algebra I, Honors Algebra I, or Honors Algebra II. If you take Honors I, then you never take II. Cuz after freshman year, there are only two options - honors, or normal.

ok... this is just sad... come on Lawrence District... pick up the pace... Freshman options: Problem solving (stupid people who do not try) Pre-Algebra (took in 7th grade) Algebra I (took in 8th grade) Geometry (took this that year) Honors Geometry (nope, didn't try hard enough to get into honors) Sophomore options: Pre-Algebra Algebra I Geometry Algebra II (took it) Honors Algebra II (same thing 4 honors) math is EXTREMELY easy to me... so, I'm kinda annoyed that our school district is SO FAR behind... unless you guys are in prep schools and, as usual, making PS look bad Sidenote: next year, I'm taking Pre-Calculus

Yeah, I'm at a prep school too. Lol you had to apply to just get in...
Anyways, you're really not behind. My school kinda does it in a weird order, but I'm taking Pre-cal junior year as well. We just don't have any classes for people who really don't try.

lol... you wanna know somethin' funny about not trying...
Well, first I need to tell ya' this... at our school, most teachers will deduct 10 points for getting your name wrong and 10 points for getting the date wrong (I get marked off for this quite a bit since I never know the date)
well, one dude... he tries SO HARD to not try that he will purposely spell his name wrong, then, mark the wrong date, and finally... not answer any questions on tests, quizes, or does his homework...
dude had -10% in nearly ALL his classes
