<p>are there any lights-out for 3rd formers?- cause it would be rather conflicting if you like to study at night...</p>
<p>another ?-
wat english/reading class do we take? or it it that humanities 3 class?</p>
<p>Freedom with Responsibility. No mandatory lights out, but if you can't sleep or get your work done, then they will deal with it. Phones (incoming) and Internet both shut down like 11:30?, but ask a student). Be respectful of your roommate if you have one. </p>
<p>Humanities is a double credit course. It combines (like in college) history & english with some politics, economics, art appreciation and religion.</p>
<p>Internet and phone go off at 12, but you can make outgoing calls to another student but it goes straight to voicemail. The trick is to get on the phone at say 11 55 and start talking because if you are already on the phone it won't shut off.</p>
<p>And all of your English, Reading, Language Arts and Social Studies is done in Hum(anities) III. And this year they changed the curriculum to incorporate world religions and other subjects.</p>
<p>neat
do the phones go off even if its a cell phone?</p>
<p>and do most 3rd formers get placed in Geometry by the placement test?</p>
<p>Yeah, how effective is that bigred?</p>
<p>I, to bypass all school filers (such as CC, and MIT opencourseware), use my phone to tether it's 3G onto my computer... Illegal? Yes... Useful? Def... Would I get like a probation or anything for doing that?</p>
<p>Cell phones always work, along with the internet on cellphones. But if you have anything other than Verizon (which works basically everywhere on campus), and At&t (which only works some places) you don't get service so check on re-visits if your phone works well. And principalviola i'm not sure about anything you just wrote because I have no idea what those things are, lol. But when you get the student handbook they expect you to read it and make sure that you don't violate anything.</p>
<p>3rd formers are mostly in Geometry but some kids have already taken Geometry so they go up to Algebra 2 or down to Algebra 1. There is even a 3rd former in Pre-Calc Honors so it varies. They place you in a class based on what you have taken, But when they place you in a class for the first 2weeks of school you can request to move up or down a level or to be in a honors class. So they try to find the perfect class for you. You can also request to take an extra class. For example, I take Geometry Honors as well as Algebra 2. But they do not suggest doing so because they want 3rd form year to be more easy than upcoming years.</p>
<p>hmmm
thanks
i can't go back to the revisit because my school won't allow me to miss anymore school- so does T-mobile work?</p>
<p>and can you take fitness more than once throughout one year, and all four years?</p>
<p>so just comfirm this: humanities 3 takes care of language arts and history, correct?</p>
<p>Are they pretty good about moving up classes... Because as a Freshman (whatever form that is... I have no clue about these "forms"... Milton has "class 1, etc" even that's confusing... lol) I will be taking either Pcalc or AP calc... Exeter told me I would have to take placement test to move up that far as a 9th grader... Andover told me to speak with the teacher.. How would it work in SPS?</p>
<p>And I have att, so it (should) be fine. I hope so, I rely on it to get on MIT's website at school... Of course in a school like SPS I won't be able to cruise the web during Alg 2/Trig...</p>
<p>d2g - I've got T-mobile and it does not work on campus, but once you get off it's fine. But technically we are only allowed to use cell phones off camps and in our dorm rooms.</p>
<p>And you can take fitness all you want. But I suggest playing a club sport, such as club soccer in the fall. Because it is for the less athletic people and you get to meet a ton of people and it's a lot of fun. </p>
<p>And yes Humanities III is language arts and history.</p>
<p>principalviola - At SPS they see what classes you have completed and they put you in the class that is next in the sequence. If you never took a class, say somehow you never took geometry, they would make you take geometry, and the next year they will move you to the next class you have not taken. If you have taken everything you need to be in Calculus then they look at teacher recs to see if you should be in AB Calculus or BC Calculus.</p>
<p>Yeah, I don't know how much weight my teacher's rec would hold... I am sure it was stellar in everything except effort (she told me she put me as below average) and everything pertaining to caring in the class...</p>
<p>I usually sit and cruise through either CC or MIT (nerd cubed) during the class. So irritating, though, I know all the crap... I'm in it because the dept wouldn't let me go on to precalc...</p>
<p>sin square + cos square = 1... been doing that for the last eon... I'll have to convince the math teacher that I actually love math..</p>
<p>Then they'll probably stick you in a class but you can always talk to the head of the math department about it. And if a teacher notices that you are too smart for their class then they will gladly move you up.</p>
<p>Hmmm... I went to a super intensive mathcamp this summer (in which I had to try hard) if I can get him to write me a rec will that change things any... This was a very advanced class that applied many things learned in Pre calc and calc.</p>
<p>are the club sports for people that want to learn how to play, or are they for the people that can already play but aren't that good or don't want to be in varsity?</p>
<p>principalviola - if the school knows that you took these classes already then you prob don't need to get a recommendation from the teacher</p>
<p>d2g - for both, For example club soccer has so many people that there are two groups, A team and B team. A team is for the talented and B team is for the not so talented. On A team when they compete it is very intense. But on B team when we compete it just a laughter fest, with people tripping over one another and falling everywhere. In other club sports they mix everyone together so there are good players mixed with people who have never played before. For example I know people who did not know how to ice skate but still played club hockey.</p>
<p>so- if i did club tennis- i don't know how to play it- then i could actually still learn it?</p>
<p>and do you bring your own intsrument to campus in sept., if it's travel size of course, like a violin?</p>
<p>Do they let you play music in the dorms... (I usually play my Viola a few hours before I sleep, so it is usually awkward because people may be sleeping)... I don't plate Forte or anything all the time but most of my music is not piano either. </p>
<p>So music in dorms (assuming roommate if not in single) agrees after hours of 11... Not too long, only like an hour or two.</p>
<p>Yeah i have the same question as d2g
i'd LOVE to take tennis in the spring,
but im pretty sure i wouldnt be able to get onto JV...</p>
<p>hehe i guess if a viola could be too loud, my saxophone would be out of the picture?</p>
<p>i'm taking algebra right now, but what if i totally bomb the placement test? lol (not likely)
will i hav to take algebra ALLL over again?</p>
<p>and 1 more thing, i don't understand y cell-phones aren't allowed on campus....i think it's silly that if i wanna call my folks, i hav to buy one of those house phones to put in my room. what if i need to contact like a teammate or something.....not tryin to diss sps</p>
