I've already sent off an email. I'm anxious about the reply and just wanted to see what you guys thought would be an alternative if I do not get the result I hope for from the school.

my school is a highly academic school.

^^ I know I can't always get what I want but when it comes to my education, I will make sure that I do get my way.

i want to do ext 2 eng, ext 2 math, economics and chemistry for year 12 but I'm not too sure for year 11 yet. Ironic the order.

I am wasting time because the term to semester is dedicated to doing year 10 work which I will of course be making sure I am 100% on over the summer holidays. I have not signed a paper saying what subjects I will definitely be doing but for year 12 I am pretty happy with what subjects I will do.

But it feels pointless. Like I'm wasting valuable time. I want to get as far ahead as I can so that when I'm in year 12 I guarantee 99.95. I am already casually covering prelim economics and English really is not an issue to me as I am already doing well above my grade level. All that is left is...

They do accelerate through year 10 rather than year nine. They cover the 3 unit year 11 course and the year 10 course all in the same year.

I reiterate, Am I not an asset to the school. Shouldn't they be seeking to extend me as far as I can possibly go?

I really don't see why my new school wouldn't want to extend me as well. It would be beneficial to them.

zyzz got dux of his school, marist eastwood. Anyone can do it. Edit: although he does seem to be one of those ultra dedicated kind of people.

What if I get a tutor 3-4 times a week. Will it still be a waste of money?

Look. I am going into year 10 next year. I have just completed the school cert. and year 10 course. I will definitely one way or another be doing at least prelim 3 unit next year. Next year is when I am moving schools. I really think you should understand that I'm actually dedicated and that I...

I really don't understand that. The kids that have the best shot at bringing up the school's rank are being asked not to succeed.

is it possible for me to accelerate again next year. finish year 11 and 12 3 unit in year 10?

You think I could learn it without a teacher. I could get a tutor to come a couple of times a week or something though?

I know unlikely but I will ask anyway. Is there ANY possibility at all that they would put me into a year 11 class just for math and I could stay after school or whatever to make up the hours and I could work around them to do everything in terms of lines and what not.

But I feel like if worst comes to worst the sacrifice is kind of worth it. I'm moving from a rank 70ish school to a school ranking in the 20's. As a competitive person I believe I will work harder if people around me are doing better.

Hey BoSers, I have a predicament when it comes to accelerated math. I have just completed year 9 and have completed both the year 9 and 10 curriculum in mathematics but I am moving schools next year. I have looked on my current schools booklist and my class will be getting 3 unit Cambridge...

Oh right. he should just practice at home then.

You've got to love wenona girls. Although that is coming from a north shore boy..
