Either I never belonged in the remedial classes, the GED is a participation trophy, or both are true.

Bonus, I tested out of community college geometry, but struggle with online high school geometry. I mostly wanted the college class to have classroom support for the online high school classes. They refused to let me take the class because I tested out of it.

    The GED is 100% a participation trophy.

    Geometry? I took geometry in 8th grade.

    What classes were you blocked from?

      I was blocked from taking entry geometry because I tested out of it. Don’t remember if it was 101 or 110. You probably took various types of geometry through out K-12. I’m stuck on Two-Column Proofs mainly because the process is intuitive enough I don’t put words to it. I need to just push though and get whatever grade I get.

        Wait, it was 9th grade, freshman year. I tested into algebra 1 in 8th grade. So highschool was geometry, algebra 2, trig, then AP calculus.

        Proofs are about learning that it’s not about getting the answer. It’s proving that it’s the correct answer. Imagine someone telling you that they don’t believe your answer is correct. Imagine each step they say they don’t believe you. So you have to break it down into small, undeniable steps to PROVE that’s the answer. It’s in the name.
