November 6, 200618 yr you can't classify 1000's of people into those 3 categories you fgt.... you forgot the 4th one - preps who get A's because they are on the football team, but end up bagging groceries the rest of their lives. Gg.
November 6, 200618 yr Ever heard of the "Honors" or "Advanced Placement" classes in most highschools? Maybe you're in one or have taken them in the past. Well what they are are specialized courses that expand the workload, intellectual exercising, and learning in general of the student enrolled in that class. These classes contain a HUGE amount of homework, taking up all of your time. I am a sophomore at my highschool, currently enrolled in 3 honors classes and 1 advanced placement class. When I get home I immediately find myself engrossed in homework. I come home, do homework, eat, sleep, wake up early in the morning to do more homework, and go back to school. I have no spare time to engage in hobbies or communicate with peers. You might say I have "no life". And at what purpose am I pushing myself to this limit? To get into a good college? Why? I have no clue what college I might want to attend, as I have no time to research it, and even if I did, I have no clue what I might be interested in majoring in. I do know that I enjoy preparing various meals for myself on weekdays and have made an assortment of goods from homemade bread and pasta, cookies, dinner pies, soup, and other basic dishes. None of that, mind you, is heating up prepackaged foods, but making it from following recipes. I find myself happy after making a meal and become excited at trying new things. It occurred to me that I might wish to attend a culinary school instead of a college to possible grasp a chance at getting a career pertaining to cooking and the like. If that is my life goal, then why in the world am I continuing to gain near sleepless nights slaving over homework for these cruel classes of mine? I have no time to practice my art. I have recently had a discussion with a peer who was not in any of these honors classes, but rather in the lowest classes or fundamentals if you will. He was enrolled in several art classes, however, and after reviewing his work, I was quite impressed. He was a junior, he told me, and had already a college and career as a concept artist picked out for him. He seems to have a complete grasp of his future and current life, while I have very little. Why am I, the hard worker, bogged down with these endless tasks daily, and to receive no ability to foresee my own future? On rare occasions when I have little work to do, I find myself lost in a world without labor, a place with nothing to do. It is a sad life I lead. But I digress. My theory is as follows: If students are in advanced courses and receive maximum amounts of work that take up all of their time, then they will have less of a chance to live happily in a career that suits their enjoyment, whilst those with little work but great direction will enjoy their future work very much and look forward to doing it. Also: There are four types of students (has been broadened): The hardworking who do well The hardworking who do not do well due to mismanaged time The laid-back who do well The laid-back who fail and do not care Where should I go with my life? Should I aim for college or culinary school? What do you think of my theory? Thanks for reading.

November 6, 200618 yr AP courses: waste of time. They do not prepare you for college workloads because they are, at their heart, high school classes. The only reason to take an AP class is to "stand out" on your application to college. The problem, of course, is that AP courses are taken by the majority of students who even attempt to get into college (honestly, when I was applying for colleges I was the only person I knew who did not have AP courses on my transcript). So, in order to "stand out" you have to take a shitload of AP courses. This causes a further problem. AP courses attempt to simulate college workloads by overloading you with busy work shit assignments. The more you take, the more busywork you have to do. Once you get past 4 you end up spending all of your time making flash cards that you have to turn in or some shit like that. AP courses are not really worth the time invested. I'd go so far as to say they are worthless. Their only use is to boost your high school rank because every college that is worth going to automatically drops AP courses down to a 4.0 scale. Further, any major worth taking will not let you count AP credits towards fundamentals (calculus, chemistry, biology, physics, etc.). Seriously, anyone who takes AP courses to "distinguish" themselves or to get into college is, quite frankly, an idiot. You don't have to be amazing to get into college. You don't even have to be good. You just have to be better than everyone else. I wasn't even in the top third of my class in high school but I the only person who beat my standardzed test scores was the valedictorian of my class that started preparing for it 5 weeks in advance. College is not about being the best, college is about being better. Something AP classes do not teach you. My advice: stick to regular honors courses. Normal classes move too slow for anyone that isn't mildly retarded and honors courses are also kind of slow, but it's bearable as long as the chicks in your class have tits. You gain nothing out of AP. PS - anyone who can't maintain a 3.0 or above in high school is a fucking loser. Getting a B in high school is like making out with a drunk chick who just broke up with her boyfriend, all you have to do is show up and it's pretty much guarenteed to happen.

Thanks for reading. k.. i'm going to brown so i'll help you telling from reading the first paragraph of your post ap classes help lessen the stress of college. or you can be like me and sleep through them with a C+ and somehow get into an ivy league. Its all a matter of when you want to put inthe work. If u put it in during high school, you will have an easier time in college and its a direct relationship.

Your life will be meaningless and uneventful anyway, becasue you, as you so eloquently put it, "have no life." It's almost as if you think you're better than people who don't take AP classes, and you're surprised that someone who doesn't is more on top of his own life than you are. You should kill yourself right now.
November 6, 200618 yr In my highschool, honours courses were alot different from what I've read in this thread. Basically, honours courses had students who were white, wealthy, and interested in learning. The alternative classes had everyone else who didn't fit into the 'honours' category. Sounds stupid, but that was the only difference in the work we did as a class. I even remember a meeting with a guidance councellor when I was picking my courses for my last year there. I asked him to define what an advanced course was. He leaned in towards me and said "what kind of students do you want to be with?" I didn't take another advanced course since then. By the way, OP, I'm getting C'S and lower in university. I am probably going to drop out. I am a dumbass when it comes to school and acutually 90% of everything else. Not because I couldn't do it, but just because I don't care. edit: you're a fag for writing a goddamn theory on advanced courses, and posting it on myg0t forums. get the fuck out
November 6, 200618 yr I get A's in college and couldn't pull off anything higher than B's in high school. Apparently I do better when you're tested on actual understanding rather than how much bullshit repetition you can do on homework. GO FIGURE LOL PS - minkey fails at college because he regurgitates information and doesn't actually learn. Like most kids do, actually.

November 6, 200618 yr Just because some person does Advanced or Extension courses does not mean they are performing exceptionally well, I do Extension Mathematics and it sucks dick. I'm better off doing non-Advanced courses, or in this case English Standard, I came 8th out of 95 Standard students, if I did Advanced English I would get owned. Oh and teh-draxxus, make me a new booby sig plz, im tired of ass. NWA;400948'] ... PS - minkey fails at college because he regurgitates information and doesn't actually learn. Like most kids do' date=' actually.[/quote'] Shit you're right, kids do regurgitate information. I relied on the very same technqiue to come 8th out of 95 English Standard kids, either way I win against all teh n00bs below me.
November 6, 200618 yr henny you are dead wrong on why I don't do well. I don't do well because I am too dumb to regurgitate info.
November 8, 200618 yr you forgot the 4th one - preps who get A's because they are on the football team, but end up bagging groceries the rest of their lives. Gg. thanks for that one, maddox

November 8, 200618 yr Fact is, not everyone can be incredibly smart, some people have to drop a little lower and not care, if not, then we would have no service industry in the USA, so its okay to be dumb and not care. Personally I'd rather relax and do the least I can than bust my ass just to get a high paying job that I hate.
