It sucks, I don't want to be doing algebra homework during my first break of the school year!

Haha, sucks fer you, I took Algebra last year, and my teacher this year is a fat bastard. Honors Geometry is so easy this year because the teacher is so fat he cant even walk around, so he doesnt even give homework.

I loved Algebra! It would not have bothered me! ;)

Let's see what I have..

Geometry
English
AP History
Biology

Yep..

How can anyone not like algebra? It's the most wonderful discipline in the world, with the possible exception of differential calculus.

It sucks, I don't want to be doing algebra homework during my first break of the school year!
A good one.

I have 100 questions I get to do with AP Bio, so stop whining.

I sincerely pity all victims of the terroristic plague known as mathematics, a plague which has on many occasions nearly killed me.

I like algebra, and homework doesn't usually bother me, I just hate taking home homework on Labor Day weekend, ANY weekend for that matter. He just had to give us the largest assignment we had all week today, right before our three day weekend.

Oh no! You have Algebra homework.

And while we're on the topic of schedules, I'm not trying to trump anyone, I'm just curious as to other High School NSers' schedules.

Eww those were always pleasuable :eek:

I dont' know if they still offer it but try a 2 year course on AP history civics. Now that was an insane course!

What, did you expect me to have calculus homework instead. I'm in the 8th grade, I'm not about to have a high level high-school class.

I think we have an AP course with civics, but I've never heard of a two year course at our school...

Man, I wish I was still in high school. I'd kill for any of your schedules over mine.

I took it my Junior and senior years. It was an attempt to mingle the two subjects and show how each played out in events.

It was brutal but interesting.

My schedule: [next years equivelent classes in brackets]

Band (hooray for an easy class ;) )
Spanish 4
English III AP [English IV AP]
U.S. History AP [European History AP]
Physics Accel. [Chemistry AP]
AP Calculus AB [Multivariable Calculus AP]

And yes I agree with the original poster... I have 35 or so calc problems alone this weekend, its no fun =P. Either way I seem to wrok through it well but GL with the algebra :D

i wish i still had a block schedule. it was sooooo much better. u had more time in the core classes. *sigh* and i miss that school so much. it was a magnet school. and then i moved here. im still in junior high, but 9th grade. i have to go to the high school for first period. and im freakin' bored in most of my classes

1st: (at high school) Advanced Algebra 2
2nd: (at junior high) Pre-AP English
3rd: EITE (pre-engineering), probably one of the more "fun" classes that i have, if u could call any of my classes "fun"
4th: Health (urg....)
5th: Pre-AP Arkansas History (bleep)
6th: Ap Biology (fun, but still kinda boring cause i know most of the stuff from magnet school in texas)
7th: Library Aide (the easiest class ever)

and i cant take latin at the junior high or the high school here cause they dont offer it. i cant take orchestra cause they dont offer it. im feeling a little deprived of a learning experience.

i get up every morning, go to cross country at the junior high, change, to the high school for first period, back to the junior high for the rest of the day. on fridays i have a studio class (my violin teacher is a university professor and she invited me to her classes for all of her students) which starts about the same time that i get out of school. so i rush to the next town over (only about 15 or 20 minutes). on mondays, ill have youth symphony rehearsals. on thursdays i have private violin lessons. im suppose to practice an hour everyday. and im also supposed to practice for cross country most evenings. hah, like thats gonna happen.


oh, and i love to do homework. hows that for a hectic schedule?

What the nutter are these pre-ap classes...

(Oh, all of my un AP'ed courses are Honors or somewhat, we call them phase 5 classes, AKA GPA boosters. Phase 6 classes (AP) are GPA killers)

Hm, sucker indeed. I have no homework this labour day weekend! Whoo! Why does Jolt lag my browser? WHY?!?!?! WARUM?!?!?!?!!

Anyhow, I noticed people posting their schedules. I laugh at the alternating-day schedules. I have, this semester, these classes:

(Oh, and I realised it's because I'm burning a disc that my computer is lagging so badly)

Discovery (Easy A class)
Intermediate Integrated Algebra
Spanish I
AIM Global Humanities (You have to test into this class) and AIM English I (one class together)

Next semester, I have:

Ah, how I yearn for 8th grade...no AP classes.

Pre-AP is I guess what you guys call honors.
It isn't a regular class, but isn't an AP class.
Your grades are weighted heavier in that class than a regular class, but not as much as an AP, because it is supposed to be simpler. I'm love AP history classes, and I couldn't imagine what Pre-AP, or even regular classes do in their time.

I'd feel sorry for you but I have 400+ pages reading between two of my English classes, a few chapters of Biology and Chemistry to get through, not to mention I have to do my layout for the newspaper's first edition going to press this week.

Don't feel sorry for me, I finished it this afternoon. No burden for me anymore.

I had the same algebra teacher for Algebra I and Algebra II...and she always gave homework.

well, pre-ap classes are exactly that, pre advanced placement. though i prefer block scheduling, i moved to a small town, so i am now stuck with rather short class periods which i take up most of in english presenting my projects that arent due until october :D go ahead, call me an over-achiever. although pre-ap classes are similar to honors, and perhaps the same, i prefer magnet classes over all! they're more advanced than regular and pre-ap. it was the first place that i actually felt challenged, and its gonna be really hard to follow that anywhere except the magnet high school in the same town to which all of my friends still there go to now and have informed me its like hell. well, fyi, its like hell here. im so bored in class, i could probably read all day through my classes and still pass with an A. is that sad or what?

I also play soccer, am starting judo, play rugby in the spring, and am doing wrestling in the winter. On top of working on college apps. Oh the joys of senior year. [/whine]

A good one.

I have 100 questions I get to do with AP Bio, so stop whining.

*high five*

It sucks, I don't want to be doing algebra homework during my first break of the school year!

Awwwwwwwww, poor baby! Being asked to learn in school! Imagine the nerve of that teacher!

*high five*
Yes, and I still haven't done them yet.

Awwwwwwwww, poor baby! Being asked to learn in school! Imagine the nerve of that teacher!

Hey, I finished the homework, what more do you want? I was just ticked off because I was all pumped up because I might not have homework for the weekend (an event quite rare), and then last period of the day the teacher gives us a huge algebra assignment, almost all story problems (curse this new math curriculum).

Oh dear, word problems.

Yes, oh dear. Why can't we ever learn anything that we won't have to use in real life? ;)

Haha, sucks fer you, I took Algebra last year, and my teacher this year is a fat bastard. Honors Geometry is so easy this year because the teacher is so fat he cant even walk around, so he doesnt even give homework.

What!? :eek: My geometry class was hell!

At least you didn't have an Algebra II class where the teacher was interrupted every 5 min when she was explaining something, by a cocky kid who wanted to watch the Daily Show.

i have both trigonometry and english homework thats due tuesday and i havent even started it yeat :cool:

Man. Y'all want some cheese with that whine? LOL!

Yes, oh dear. Why can't we ever learn anything that we won't have to use in real life? ;)
You do. Ever want to figure out er...the height of a lighthouse?

hehe... Homework is for tools. When you reach a point where you stop giving a shit, you'll be surprised how much you can get away with not doing (happened to me 2nd semester last year).

4th semester. Got a 95 in bio doing no work. (96 for the entire year, thanks to the 90-hard-as-hell midterm)

I just finished my graduate studies. I'll never go back to school again. The long nightmare is over!

Lucky you. Now you get to get a job and pay for your own room and board. Hoo-ray.

I love my geek engineering job. The fact it pays well is a nice bonus.

In that case you really are one lucky bastard. :)

Thanks. After 6 years of hellish torture in CS/EE I expect nothing less than a cushy job.

You're quite lucky. I'm looking for a full time job now; about to leave college after eight glorious years and three degrees...

Ouch. Six and two for me. What'd you study?

my teacher didnt give us hw during labour day weekend. Not my class, but yes to me. Im a liberal, and this is a man who dont like john ashcroft cuz he says he's too liberal. So he hates my black ass and makes me pay for it.

4th semester. Got a 95 in bio doing no work. (96 for the entire year, thanks to the 90-hard-as-hell midterm)
Wow, sounds almost like you had Atwood (my bio teacher). I think my test average was 103 or something, and I never studied. EVER.

Ouch. Six and two for me. What'd you study?

BS Geophysics, MS Geophysics, MBA Corporate Finance...hell, as long as they keep paying me to go...of course, now there are kids born in 1986 walking around - startin to feel a bit old here.

Indeed. If I didn't get my current job I would be pissing away another 4+ years doing a PhD at UIUC.

You do. Ever want to figure out er...the height of a lighthouse?

You know, that is a very good point.
