You take all your high school courses completely over the internet? Is this in correspondence with your local high school? Or is it some new form of "home schooling?" Just curious, I've heard of college courses online, but never high school stuff.

I am one of those unlucky ones that was really interested in Computer Science but went to a super crappy, ghetto high school. As a result, gotta learn programming and concepts alone during summer just to catch up and perhaps graduate on time.

I asked someone in the know about the US education system.Turns out that its NOT designed to teach job skills.If you get and job training in public school, consider it a lucky gift.What public education system is designed to do is make the mass population a more competent voter.Voting is the only reason we have a public education system.

There is an over emphasis on math and science in American schools. They should teach kids some civics and ethics and less math and science.
