Cyan Kat Posted February 25, 2012 Share Posted February 25, 2012 what is a sophomore? is it like final year or something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Megalomania Posted February 25, 2012 Share Posted February 25, 2012 it's only because it's like 10x more difficult than freshman year. and the teachers just don't give a damn about your personal life, if you signed up for their class you better be willing to spend all your time on their work. and i'm in all honors, which doesn't help. Kat, in the US you have elementary school which is 1-8th grades, then you go to high school which is freshman, sophomore, junior, and senior years (9th, 10th, 11th, 12th grades) then you graduate and go to college.

MaxRide Posted February 25, 2012 Share Posted February 25, 2012 No, sophomore year is the second year of (American) high school. It's also a term used to describe the second year of college if you're getting a Bachelor's degree, but that's different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Megalomania Posted February 25, 2012 Share Posted February 25, 2012 Oh that's cool! Elementary school is often divided up into elementary school 1st-5th grade, then middle school 6th-8th grade. But we never have more than 12 grades, no matter how they're divided up. :wacko: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Megalomania Posted February 25, 2012 Share Posted February 25, 2012 /freshmanisscarednow. Don't worry, freshman year is a piece of cake. Sophomore year is the hardest because it's such a huge adjustment from the "pampered" easy-peasy freshman year to all of a sudden, actual difficult work. The information itself gets more difficult junior and senior year, but by then you're used to it. Enjoy freshman year while you can. :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ColdplayingfromKansas Posted February 25, 2012 Share Posted February 25, 2012 Is sophomore year really that difficult? :thinking: -not trying to be rude, I'm not a sophomore- :shrug: I actually find it a bit easier, but I may not be on the same curriculum as Megalomania. it's only because it's like 10x more difficult than freshman year. and the teachers just don't give a damn about your personal life, if you signed up for their class you better be willing to spend all your time on their work. and i'm in all honors, which doesn't help. :( That sucks. My school isn't like that at all--then again, my town is pretty small. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Megalomania Posted February 25, 2012 Share Posted February 25, 2012 My town is mini, my high school is actually regional and made up of 3 towns. My town is the smallest, our 8th grade graduating class was only 27. The largest town had a graduating class of ~120. Altogether, my high school graduating class is only about 200. We have really smart teachers though. My history teacher is a published author. :| Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyan Kat Posted February 25, 2012 Share Posted February 25, 2012 Year 12 is pretty hard right now, well unless you take something like Media Studies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I said, I find it easier than freshman year (but it might just be because I sucked at geometry [Algebra II is so much easier] and there weren't any honors classes where you could have more one-on-one time with your teachers) we got 1-6 and then againg 1-6 :blank:[/color] My school goes 1-5 then 6-8 then 9-12 :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And this is going to sound bitchy but I'm freaking out right now because. . . well I've never had this problem before. I've never actually had to study for a test, and I've never had so many bad test grades. It's unnerving. My school was actually K-8, then 9-12. :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're poor because our governor doesn't know that you can't just suddenly cut money from education, so if a class doesn't have more than 11 people signed up the class doesn't happen. :| They reschedule you.

Cyan Kat Posted February 25, 2012 Share Posted February 25, 2012 what sucks is that everyone knows everyone and everyone's business and if you lose friends it's so hard making new ones, well it is for me which is what i'm finding at the moment :disappointed: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
