Heh yeah. Unfortunately my parents got all over my case about early acceptance (it was important or I wouldn't get into the UofC
) so I had to finish up.
I pretty much warn everyone about going through the BCHS program now. It's just not worth the hassle for kids who obviously don't have the willpower to push themselves through it. I probably would have benefited more from a traditional school structure.
In grade 4 we were assigned a book report to do. Two of my friends decided to do a report on whales. The funny part was that they used the same cover page and shared the same "research", but wrote different reports. The teacher threw a hissy fit (yes, in grade 4) and both were failed on the assignment. She saw the duplicated cover page and assumed it was just a copy. I hated that teacher.
