Show of Hands

I always sit near the smart kid

It's funny how only California has a strong yes

I took math and English last year. I screwed around in math and I didn't really need to do English. I didn't get math at all during the year which was why I was screwing around and during summer school I totally got it. I'm glad I went to summer school.

I am taking health 2 over this summer, by choice

Because of medical crap. I went to try to get through high school in 4 years. I still had to take a fifth year. I hated that fact at the time but ever since then I've gotten to go to 2 reunions each time because both classes accept me as belonging.????

Every summer since 7th grade...but I still got my masters degree!

I took all my history classes in summer school so I could have time to work and be student body pres. This was ages ago! Now I would have used the time to get basic college classes out of the way, not an option back then.

I am currently taking chemistry. Not because i need to, but because i would like to take AP this upcoming year.

Never

I never had to but I took gym in the summer so I had more time for art (my college major)

Drivers Ed was a summer school class way back when.

I was able to attend IU for a summer honors program. What a great experience it was.

I'm taking it right now. I'm getting high school Biology credits so I can take another art elective next year. It's an entire year of material in 6 weeks.
Not everyone who does summer school is stupid.

My state is stupid...
Or we took summer classes and got ahead!!

Yes, I did. I took pre calc the summer between freshman and sophomore year so I could take calculus my sophomore year.

once... damn geometry.

I thought it would be fun... I only went for a week.

Yes. For funsies. I took a special English course, Latin, and speech that way and skipped a year of math by taking algebra. I was a weird kid.

No, but I had a math tutor just to keep me at a steady C. I hate math....much so that I don't even play dominoes - and every black person I know plays dominoes! even the drop outs! (No stereotype- that's my reality)

In college, too. Ideal for short attention spans.

I did it to get requirements out of the way in a shorter time

I did the summer before 4th grade. I thought it was pointless. I don't remember learning that much.

Took summer school the summer before my freshman year, again the next summer before sophomore yer and the next before my junior year. I then graduate a full year early.

3rd-4th grade summer, it wasn't too bad, an hour less then regular school, and only four days a week. But the teachers were the type of teacher that when their house gets egged, you say, good.

Taught it for 5 years, principal for 3. Many of the students I had during the year are there. I warned them, but they never learn. Now I get to see them all summer long. Good thing I like them. My office is the only air conditioned room.

Just for drivers Ed

Sooooo hot in the non-air conditioned rooms back then.

My senior year I moved to Texas. Texas History was a requirement to graduate. I had to go to summer school to take it.

We didn't have summer school - I would have loved it

Hahaha California

Only to get ahead. Not because I was behind.

I went but not because I failed a class, I went to get ahead for my senior year

Was always good in school, actually graduated half a year early, never went to school but worked on my uncles ranch.. Which was better then school..

Just in college.

Yes. I actually failed Physical Ed while I was on the track team. Skipped too many classes.

Not really, but I did attend the summer enrichment academies at Oregon State when I was a kid.

Yes. Not because I failed a class, but because I wanted to get ahead in my classes. Also, my mother didn't believe in letting me have a summer off and for whatever reason I chose to do math instead of volunteering or sports camps.

I took typing.

I will next year to get ahead in math.

For a Spanish class.

for three summers to graduate early. also went to school each day an hour early to do PE that way I could take only academics during the normal school day. graduated a year early and joined the army at seventeen.

I took drivers Ed one summer.

Yes, but I would call it summer 'school'. A sixth grade P.E. teacher tried teaching us 8th grade Algebra. To sum it up, we learned just about nothing.

No way! Bag that.

Only way I could fit Driver's Ed into the schedule!

I even took it before my freshman year to get ahead :)

I
R

Worse than I thought the amount woulc be.

Just to get ahead.

In college and I might. D:
