dyk i don't now.. i'm very pro-tiny schools.. having gone to very small schools myself, and knowing how far ahead I was from everyone once I got to the public jr high.. I know all that one on one attention did wonders.. Brenna was so advanced when she started middle school, but now she's just somewhere in the middle..

dyk i would have really liked chris to have that great start in school?

dyk we had an upper room and a lower room, and i know being in the room with the older kids, and absorbing their lessons cuz we were in such tight quarters was great.. and we could really advance as fast as we were able.. my classmate and i were able to completely skip first grade spelling

dyk i moved to the upper room a year early (3rd grade) and since i was emersed in 5th and 6th grade classes, and was able to participate in them with the other kids, i was able to test out of all that stuff early on.. they had to order 7th grade material for me in 5th grade

dyk then i moved to 7th grade in the public school environment, and they wouldn't recognize that i had already done things like algebra.. well they did, but insisted that since i couldn't completely test out of 7th grade, i had to retake all the classes, even though i was scoring in the 9th grade in a few of them. They wanted all the 7th graders on the same page so to speak.. so I was so bored and felt like I didn't learn anything in 7th and 8th grade.. I still feel like I totally wasted 2 years there. It did give me the opportunity to start learning french though, so I guess that was a bonus.

dyk by 9th grade in high school I really was on the same page as all the rest of the students because I was finally learning all new things.

dyk I got my first B my senior year. I was devestated! hehe.. I was in advanced classes every year.. and had all my credits to graduate except one by the end of sophmore year.. i don't remember what i took my jr year, but i know i had a couple free periods that i volunteered to help my french teacher out, grading papers etc.. my senior year i could have completely slacked off, but i wasn't like that at the time.. I did only have 4 classes, but 3 of them were AP classes.. i took them to get some college credit

dyk i would have liked to take another french class that year but i had taken (or tested out of) all 4 that were offered in high school.. i learned some extra french stuff from volunteering for and being so close with the french teacher.. so I took spanish 1.. hehe.. i was in a class full of freshman, but it was fun

dyk i ended up not getting the college credit for the AP classes though. My bad car accident happened the first day of 2nd semester (the one my sister died in) and had missed so much school, and was very depressed, so when the gc stopped me in the hallway one day, and asked how things were going, i said that i wished i had just graduated mid term.. and even though all the deadlines were long past, she pulled strings and got me out of there.

dyk i did almost 2 years of college, but it was all crap classes, and everything went downhill with my mental health and one day i just called and quit.

dyk this is all so frustrating to think about.. it's hard to remember that i used to be so smart! and now it's been so long, and i have so many issues that i had problems even helping Brenna with her pre-algebra the other night.

dyk i can't even work or drive now?

dyk i feel like my life is such a waste now?

dyk honestly if i didn't have kids, i wouldn't even be alive now?

dyk they need me to be alive.. so i am.

dyk i really don't enjoy anything about being alive, or awake?

dyk and anyway.. there ya go.. my scholastic history.. haha.. now that you are all completely bored, i shall move on :)

dyk I see the advantages of a small class size (ie 15 not 25) but am curious how a class size of 2 is a strength? I would love to understand your perspective more and hope you will explain
