Poll for highschoolers...

Just curious, out of all you highschool pc enthusiasts, how many of u take AP US History, or similar advanced history class?

Out of all the periods of AP US at my school, there only one other person who built his own puter, and the rest are Mac lovers or gateway/dell/compaq people.

Back in the day, I took a course called "Advanced Civics." Basically, study the constitution, etc.

I think a couple of guys from my class are now in Law School somewhere.

i took ap government and ap economics in high school... they actually weren't that hard. from what i heard, it was the same as the other classes, but it looks better on my transcripts.

From what I was told, the normal class was harder than the advanced class I took back at my high school. In any matter, both were a waste of time.

I am a sophomore, and I am taking Honors AP American History this year. In fact, I have a presentation on Lewis and Clark on Friday.

To be honest though, most of the people in my class arent the nerdy type, except for a couple. Most no almost nothing about computers, so I guess Im representing

I am taking AP Macroeconomics right now as a senior. Our teacher is so hardcore its not even funny. He is actually running for the state house here in Georgia and he is going to win because his only opponent is a libertarian(which is a shame cause more libertarians should be in office). Our class is really hard. Surprisingly enough I think there are actually like 3 other people in our class who like to tinker with computers and probably build them too.
