Trig was, if I it is possible, almost enjoyable. I forgot all about sine waves, but I'm sure it will come back to me.

I hate maths. That is all.

^Specialist and Methods are both algebra based, specialist does more at a faster pace.
Apps and General are all number based, and apps moves faster and does more like above.
No idea what they do in modified.

Also, my english teacher wrote 'appendixes' on an assignment sheet, so don't lecture me about Grammar

They try to basically force the kids who don't do well in high scaling classes down into the Accredited packages so they don't damage the school's overall mark.

Also, 11511 posts.

There's 5 maths classes:

1. Specialist (Ridiculously smart)
2. Methods (Also super hard, but manageable. Thats what I'm in)
3. Applications (Mid level maths, what most kids do)
4. General (Same as above but easier)
5. Modified (Special Ed. maths)

I have to get a GPA of 3.0 coming from Advanced to get into methods, but I got a D in the last semester so I was going to get filtered into Apps, but I got added to methods anyway. You get given a GPA which you need to perform to for each assessment item every semester, and if you don't make that you get dropped to the lower class. The lower classes marks don't scale as well (which means they don't come up as well on the University Admissions index) so if I get a 65 this semester in Methods, its the same as getting an 80 in Apps. Thats basically it.

No, not violence. More like tension.

Bad idea.
