#SaturdayFF When in 7th grade I was acing Trig in math. In high School, my counselor decided I didn't qualify for Algebra and stuck me in General Math for the next 2 years. I took an Electronics course with advanced Mathematics many years later and came away with an A-.

Been there done that in both science and math. I lost all credit for maths while I was homeschooled, and I had to trade my biology credit, for a 9th grade core science credit, otherwise I would have been placed in remedial courses. This caused scheduling problems from day one back in public school, 10th grade, through to my Freshman and only year of college. Most annoying thing that could be done.

I had something similar happen to me. It was the primary reason for my dropping out of school. I was sick of acing Algebra I over and over again. Every time I moved, whatever new school I ended up in got all high & mighty and thought their Algebra I was better than anyone else's, so they made me repeat the class again...and again...and again.

What is with our school systems?

Actually don't like. Why won't they let people take the math they can do?
