<p>Not sure if they have it in other states, but our TAG department here lets us do directed studies, where we learn something on our own. It can count as high school credit as well. I'm thinking about doing one and learning C++ in my junior year. Has anyone here done one before?</p>
<p>At our school it's called Independent Study. We have to have a willing teacher fill out a form explaining our goals and other stuff and it must be signed by our principle. I have two this year, one for art and another for yearbook.
They're pretty cool I guess.</p>
