Why did you have to repeat those classes in College? Why couldn't you have just done your undergraduate work when you were a freshman in high school? In fact, why couldn't you have just gone straight from Jr. High to college?
Lots of people get college credit in high school. My daughter got nearly two years worth of credits. Colleges, however, have absolute limits on the number of such credits they will accept toward a degree. I suspect for political or financial reasons.
The first half of many of those courses were “review”, they did go deeper into detail and covered more. My school had a process to “test out” of introductory courses but I am glad I didn’t do it, the first part of it being review is a good place to start and I made an “easy” A. ;)
And my High School was no ‘dream school’ by any stretch. I went to school for a semester at Washington and Lee High School in Virginia. The class president was graduating with his that semester GPA at a 5.0 (5 points on a 4 point scale for “Honors” courses) so he was getting all “A’s” in all Honors courses. My High School in California only offered two honors courses and they were AT THE SAME TIME (English and Government). I took the English honors.
In fact, why couldn’t you have just gone straight from Jr. High to college?
