[QUOTE="eekysign, post: 260561, member: 6479"] I always found honors classes far "easier" than regular classes. My friends that came along into the program later said the same. Less worksheets, less brainless memorization = easier for me. I was never great at the "normal" class stuff. I often wonder how many kids would get [B][I]great[/I][/B] grades in "honors" classes that moved a little slower, maybe. Worksheets always killed me, too. Crushing boredom + lots of chances to make a small mistake + no real purpose = so-so grades. I was never a difficult child, but the closest I ever got was late elementary through middle school, 'cause I was soooo restlessly BORED and under-stimulated. How I made it through those years without tackling someone, I don't know. I just remember sitting in class, seething, 'cause there were still umpty-billion minutes on the clock, I wasn't learning anything, and there was nothing to do. One of the few reasons I can understand Sis's explosions when she was bored when younger. I remember that simmering freak-out feeling. ;) [/QUOTE]
