<p>What are these kids gonna do when they reach junior and senior year and run out of math classes? Take three electives?</p>
<p>Well i took AB in soph year, so i was gonna take calc at college, but my school then suddenly offered BC, so i take bc as junior. NXT year i will take calc at a college.</p>
<p>I wish my school had allowed me to do that. It was a stretch to take Alg 1 as an 8th grader, since that's not what is traditional, and as you know, tradition always wins.</p>
<p>I've had some teachers (junior high) that banned even blue and black gel pens. I had one pen that said "gel" on it, so I took a nail file and filed it off. Then they never knew the difference. And the math and science teachers, of course, never allowed anything but pencil.</p>
<p>I've never done a paper in crayons; maybe I'll try that someday.</p>
