whaaaat the fuck? holy shit that sucks but also wtf??? like i thought the US had a standardized curriculum with like algebra 1/2 and geometry and then calc or whatever. don't all schools have to follow that?
this is super crazy to me because i moved to the US right before my sophomore year and they took ALL my credits, and my canadian curriculum was waaaay different. we didn't even *have* middle school so they ended up transferring one or two of my grade 8 classes, and our year was split into three rather than two semesters but they counted all my canadian classes as 1.5 america semesters. they did not give one fuck and i ended up with a bazillion credits.
i'm pretty sure my case was on the extreme opposite, but it seems absolutely ridiculous to hold a kid back over going to a school with a different curriculum/classes. honestly, i'd keep complaining and try to get higher and higher up in this new school's chain of command because something seems fucky here.
