Yeah. It's really slow moving. A lot of it is really repetitive too.

Seniors need help learning factoring... at Troy High School? Perhaps my ignorance of the internal workings of Troy is the one posting this, but I thought Troy screens for good students by entrance tests?DatSciolyBoi wrote: ↑November 5th, 2019, 12:16 pmThe seniors in my algebra two class have to learn how to factor halpCPScienceDude wrote: ↑November 4th, 2019, 10:19 am Someone send help.

Anyways, if the pace of your class is too slow for your tastes and you're looking for something to fill your time, there's always SciOly...

(Also I still don't quite know how to factor a quadratic if there is a coefficient in the front)

It draws people in from around the region to go to it. Kinda like how a good college gets many applicants from around the nation - though of course not on that scale.

There's the Troy Tech program and then there's the regular school program. The Troy Tech Program is usually why people leave their schools to attend Troy, and it's the best excuse for a Inter-District Transfer. You need to test to get into Troy Tech, but you don't have to test to get into the regular school as long as you live nearby (In the same district).gz839918 wrote: ↑November 5th, 2019, 4:40 pmSeniors need help learning factoring... at Troy High School?

Well, yeah, I knew about TT, but I had assumed that most of the classes you'd be taking would be classes with TT people.DatSciolyBoi wrote: ↑November 5th, 2019, 11:27 pm There's the Troy Tech program and then there's the regular school program.

Stress makes one's mind come to strange conclusions. (That stress is now largely gone, which is nice. It's quite sinusoidal.)
