my last days of tortute

I just finished my last days of homeschooling and feel great! Some of my projects were go to math camp and stay there four hours Monday through Thursday. I had to this by listening, writing down good notes and keeping my eyes opened.So far it has been 4 to 5 weeks of weeks of taking in a weeks worth of math every day. Except for one day when our main director came in and taught us 5 sections , almost 2 weeks worth, in one hour. Even though he was going faster than light most of us got.

Right now we are on chapter 7 and about to take the test. The bad thing is that we just took the chapter 6 test yesterday and now a test tomorrow. Out of all this hard algebra 1-2 my father is helping me understand this and get the grades. Out of these 4 to 5 weeks i realized me and my father have been arguing more often than before, out of the arguments i have learned more and more about my mistakes.

The kids in my class are more like the kids in my old classes in Altadena, talkative and hipper. Almost all of them will not stop talking till they are threatened to have their breaks taken away or them call home and never come back. When you call home you basic wasted your parents time along with yours and the teachers. My friend and i thought once that another friend of ares got kicked out for messing around for little kids since our instructor came in and told us to stop messing around with the other kids, but he did not and and stayed in the pack with every other kid in our class.

Math Camp!!!

Over my summer training program my father put me in math camp at Desert Vista and I'm in the same math level as my sister, Algebra 1-2. It’s kind of lonely since there are only three 6th graders including me. And I do not really talk to them since I don’t really know them as well as the only 8th graders inn my class. But it is fun, exciting, and funny as well as educational for all the students.

In my class ever kid is there to learn so no one talks while the teacher is and pays attention. I got to say kids there are happy and actually want to be there. In my sisters class all the kids are serious since most of them are 5th and 6th graders. But as we go along some drop out from the level it’s getting to. It’s funny that all my closes friends are either in pre-algebra or 7th grade math. So even though it gets lonely at the end of the day and every one socializes when done I make knew friends and talk to them but about 5 of my sister’s friends are in my class and its funny to think I’m a 8th grader going into high school some of the time.
