I know how you guys feel, when I was in 6th grade, my math teacher didn't teach us anything (everything was a repeat for me!). We'd have to watch these dumb videos and never had homework! I never liked her, and for some reason I was put in a "regular" 6th grade math class when I asked to be put in advanced 7th grade math but they didn't think I was smart enough. The next year I was in Algebra 1 Honors for a 7th grader, and now I'm one out of maybe 4 or 5 freshmen at my high school in Pre-calculus Honors. Too bad my 6th grade math teacher quit the year after she taught me (I still think she was fired for being such a lousy teacher) cause then I could have showed her how good I really was at math. So I guess my situation is like yours, idodi, getting A's for absolutely no reason, we never got work in that class anyway.

Oh, and to continue on the earlier subject, I read Shakespeare in 7th grade, and 'Of Mice and Men' in 8th. This year I read 'The Alchemist', and 'Mythology' by Edith Hamilton so far, but there are many more books to come...

This year, we read "Of Mice And Men", "Romeo and Juliet", "Lord of the Flies", "To Kill A Mockingbird", and maybe a few more books? I'm not exactly sure; we're through two of them and reading another. I could probably figure out the rest of the books we're reading if I felt like digging up our course syllabus, but... Meh.

I've never had a teacher who was that bad to me... Sure, I've had the occasional odd teacher who doesn't like me, but they aren't mean to that extent. My English teacher last year hated me for the first half of the year and loved me for like the last quarter because she figured out I could write.

Ah... For us, we're not allowed to do that, even if you want to. Like they have these courses at UC Berkeley that, at most high schools, would be considered the equivalent of a course, but they don't count for us... Which really sucks, but if it was allowed, about 80% of the high school would do it.

I think that if it was allowed, some people would run out of courses to take xD My high school is really competitive, and people already do APs at home and stuff and just take the test at the end of the year. If they started giving credits, some people might finish all the requirements in like the eleventh grade...

Ugh... They just changed the regulations so you can't take AP tests for subjects not offered at our school (except Micro or Macro Economics) at school -_- We used to be able to, but now we can't... Stupid budget problems.

Back to the original topic of this post, we just started reading Romeo and Juliet and I can kind of see why your teacher thought it was inappropriate. Still not worth a zero though, especially if she didn't put any parameters on the type of book you could use.

Wow, nice! In my English class we're going to read Romeo and Juliet at the end of the year and then act it out. I just hope I'm not Juliet....actually I wouldn't mind depending on who's the Romeo...but still...
