That moment you realize that I'm already taking the most advanced and difficult courses in the world.

@Legend

I already knew that. And I plan to get as advanced as I can in EdX while I do Calculus with Life of Fred.

@whizzball1

The one advantage homeschool has is moving at your own pace with whatever teaching style you want.

Getting into a decent college > finishing work early.

I could have graduated early, but I chose to do classes that would benefit me.

<Snipped quote by Multifarious>

Ah, yeah. Fun after-test time. But that also testifies to the fact that teachers teach to the test instead of for knowledge.

@Legend

They only do what is required and nothin more, except for a few.

<Snipped quote by Legend>

Being able to prepare for advanced classes because you already finished all the standards > just doing the standards
Some forays into EdX should help with college applications.

<Snipped quote by Multifarious>

I'll be attempting to do both Geometry and Trig next year. Then I can prance right into Calculus.

@whizzball1

Are you going to skip pre-Calc like I did?

You're lucky you have the opportunity to take them.

It sucks because I'm always sleepy and stressed. But meh.

I'd make that sacrifice for the increased chance at a good college and future.

@Multifarious

From what I've heard Trig is basically pre-Calc. Either way, Life of Fred doesn't have it, and neither does EdX, so I don't expect to need it. Basically, my schedule:
First Year: Algebra I and II
Second Year: Geometry and Trig
Third Year: Calculus and EdX
After that I'm not sure. It depends on how long it takes me to finish LoF Calculus.

@Legend

And it's definitely worked for me.

My sound stopped working again, but then I restarted, and it was working again.

I'm genuinely jelly.

@whizzball1

What is EdX?

What is EdX?

@Multifarious

Honestly, don't be. I'm not asking for pity or anything; the benefits and detriments tend to balance out.

If the difference between IB and AP is the difference between me getting accepted or rejected by MIT, then I'll be pretty angry.

@Multifarious

MIT might prefer AP.

@Legend

Is it a matter of preference?

@Spiritblitz

Which courses are you taking that are AP?

@Multifarious

IB is just beginning to be accepted in America. The rest of the world adopted it already.

<Snipped quote by whizzball1>

What is EdX?

@Multifarious

An website with online courses from colleges like MIT for both high school and college.

@whizzball1

It's fine now.

[whizzball1]

So I'm excited because I found out that there's a person at my church who is in 9th grade and is going into Calculus. An intelligent student! At my church! It's a miracle. (lelelel) Mrs. Seymour, a leader of the high school youth and an intellectual, told my parents about the boy, because she and other leaders think that he's not walking with the Lord and that since I'm intelligent and his age, I'd be able to talk to him, make friends with him, and get to him.

The only problem (because there has to be a problem, of course) is that he's got the whole jock personality.

Great.

So I'm going to need you guys to pray for me, so I can make friends with this person, starting next Sunday, and lead him back in the way.
