<p>I swear, the competitive nature of my school is insane, yet they still rank.</p>

<p>So today, I was talking with a friend of mine. Intelligent freshman, knows his stuff.</p>

<p>He tells me the classes he's taking next year</p>

<p>IB HL 1
AP Comparative Gov't (All Sophomores who were in MYP History pretty much take this)</p>

<p>He's saying he hopes that this gets his GPA to about a 4.7 so he can stay #1 in his class.</p>

<p>His weighted courses this year MYP Alg 2/Trig and Advanced Computer Math. </p>

<p>He told me as long as he gets to be Val, it doesn't matter to him.</p>

<p>This actually describes a lot of the sophomore and freshman classes.</p>

<p>It saddens me how people were like me my freshman year. I stopped when I realized it didn't mean much, to the dismay of my dad.</p>

<p>What on earth is IB HL 1??</p>

<p>IB has higher level (HL) and standard level (SL) in different subjects - math, history, lit, language, etc…</p>

<p>IB math HL 1, my apologies.</p>

<p>That dirty, rotten, scoundrel. Honestly, you shouldn’t care what this kid wants, worry about yourself. I could put the same one liner in half the threads in HSL in the past like week.</p>

<p>This is the part where I laugh at my realization of how flawed competitive academics is.</p>
