I didn't fail anything or graduate early... lol. Let me try to explain again... Basically, in my grad year I had too many courses to do, and not enough slots to do them (probably because I took more spares then other kids because I was also working in a restaurant and getting home at 1 or 2 am everynight and needed to sleep in a bit in the mornings). So because I wanted to still graduate on time with everybody else in my grade, I had to take an extra large courseload.. We would do 4 classes per semester, 2 semesters in a year (8 courses total). In my grad year, I did 10 courses total. I did 8 in-class courses, and chose the ones that I needed in-class instruction for, for subjects like math that aren't really my strength. I did English 12 and History 12 through an out of school, online program that allowed me to go online and I had an online textbook, and a list of all the assignments for each unit that needed to be completed in order to finish the course. Rather than have half a year to do each class (like a normal class at school), I had a full year to work on them as I pleased, whenever I wanted, and adjust those courses to my schedule around work and school.
What I am trying to say is that I quite enjoyed it. The work was easy, and it was very laid back and so I had no deadlines the way I did in school. The downside though, is that if you did ALL your classes online, you would not have the social aspect that public school does.
Understand now?
