Honestly, American Grades 10-12 are a waste. Sure, you learn some important fundamentals for college but outside of that meh.
At least in my experience I would have far preferred being able to jump straight into college and have gotten the first 2 or so years out of the way in lieu of whatever passes for high school education. I would be far ahead of where I am and have benefited much more from the opportunity, but today you can only do such a thing by getting your GED (with parental permission) and being an incredibly driven and self-promoting autodidact with a lot of parental support.
It's a farce.
- sethammons 4y agoCounter point, i found those grades as great prep for college. I took mostly AP courses. I was able to test into Calculus 3 at my university and found university to be quite easy. Grades 4, 5, and 6 were a waste. Literally the same content for three years that could have been covered in half a term. We need better self-paced systems.
