PostSubject: High School   Tue Sep 29, 2009 10:53 am

There's a HS Diploma program at the college I go to here, and they let you take tests for credits and to challenge having to take classes.
I just passed every pre-test, every test and did my 'senior project' in five hours. Seriously - it took me five hours of zero effort to get a highschool diploma.

And they make you do this for four years.

And I haven't done a school assignment since third grade.

God, the government is retarded.

Also, people who can't pass those classes are dumbasses.

I did something similar to you years ago, Vichy. I left school at 15 with my intermediate School certificate and got a job within 2 weeks. Three years later, I was able to get flexible work at thrice the pay and enrolled to do my HSC (final school graduation in Australia) at a technical college. While there is technically an 80% attendance required, all being based on a final exam I was able to get around this.

I taught myself what I needed to know while living away from home, working and having a full social life. I also did not suffer from the sleep deprivation that many teenages seem to suffer from today due to being forced in routines that do not suit their circumstances. I also did it in one year instead of the two kids spend at school.

A transfer degree Associate of the Arts, then an English degree, then a teaching certification, then an econ degree. For reasons of moving to China.
Overall, what I'm looking at attending here is:

WR121 English Composition I
WR227 Technical Writing
SP111 Fundamentals of Public Speaking
MTH111 College Algebra
HE250 Personal Health
HPE295 Health and Fitness for Life
PHL101, 102, 103 Philosophical Problems, Ethics, Critical Reasoning
Eng104-106 Introduction to English Literature
Hum101 Introduction to Humanities

Econ201 Principles of Microeconomics
Econ202 Principles of Macroeconomics
HST104-105 History of World Civilization I & II

PH201-203 General Physics I, II & III
MTH243 Probability and Statistics

And some courses I was supposed to take but I was able to challenge/test out of. I could probably test out of half my math classes, too, but I'd like to actually spend a few months in elementary math so I can remember all the functions.

you're so very right about this. I was sleep-deprived constantly in high school. It really is a very mild form of torture. I wonder whether it did permanent damage.

That's cool, I guess, if you're into that sort of thing...

why English literature though? and why no philosophy?

"why English literature though?"
I'm going to teach in China & Singapore, and a BA in English is excellent to have in addition to anything else. I'm going to get degrees in economics and a minor in philosophy later, probably in China where it costs 1/6th normal.

If you look, there are 3 Philosophy classes on that list, though.

Also, that's a transfer degree at a 2 year college. I'm going to focus on rhetoric, grammar, composition and instruction for my BA because I don't really care about English literature beyond Carlyle and science fiction.
