8 Reasons Why Every Child Should Learn to Code
If we want to set our children up for academic success, every child should learn to code. Coding for kids not only helps improve their mathematics and writing skills but also gives them valuable skills in life and eventually in the workforce.
There are various reasons why coding is important to learn and why coding should be taught in schools from an early age. The early children learn to code, the better their chance at success.
What is coding?
Put simply, coding is the a method of communicating with a computer. It is using a language that a computer understands to give a computer instructions in order to perform specific functions. Coding allows us to create things such as computer software, websites, apps and video games.
There are various types of different codes, depending on what you want to develop. And different “programming languages” that each have their own set of rules. But basically, coding is giving instructions to a computer in order to produce a desired outcome.
Why coding is important to learn for kids:
Understanding computers and learning the basics of coding helps children to develop an appreciation of how things work. It also teaches them how software engineers use math in order to solve problems in a logical and creative way. This is an important reason that coding should be taught in schools, so children learn these skills while they are young. The capacity to illuminate issues could be a characteristic that's valuable in life in We all need our children to ended up great issue solvers so that they can overcome any adversity they confront. Learning to code gives children the chance to memorize this sort of expertise while they are youthful and it can offer assistance to them along the way in life. This is often one of the enormous reasons coding is critical to memorizing.
When children learn to code, they develop the ability to bounce back after failure. They learn that failure isn’t necessarily a bad thing, and in fact, it can often be something positive because it serves as a learning opportunity. This is one of the most important reasons why kids should code, as they will learn quickly that ‘debugging’ your code is half the fun. When you fail and try again you can learn from your mistakes. Coding gives children the ability to try and try again until they succeed and produce the result they are looking for.
Learning to code teaches children how to think. Computer programming isn’t just about teaching how to type lines of code. It is more about teaching children how to think differently. To be able to code effectively, a programmer needs to use logical thinking. They need to be able to see a large problem and break it down into smaller pieces in order to solve it in an effective manner. This is called decomposition and is one of the key features of computational thinking. Coding is important to learn because computer programming teaches children to experiment and gives them the confidence to be creative. They will have the chance to design something that is entirely their own. Children thrive off of the feedback they get from creating something they love. Just like learning a language, or to play a musical instrument, children need motivation. Usually seeing results along the way is enough to cultivate this, and this is what happens when children learn to code.
Coding is critical to memorize since computer programming instructs children to explore and gives them the certainty to be They will have the chance to plan something that's completely in their possession. Children flourish out of the criticism they get from making something they cherish. Similar to learning a dialect, or to play a melodic instrument, children need motivation. Usually seeing it come about along the way is sufficient to develop this, and this is often what happens when children learn to code.
Experienced computer programmers are in demand and with the advancement of technology, there are increasing career opportunities arising every day. Employees who can code are the future and are highly sought after in any industry. Because qualified computer programmers are hard to come by, their salaries can be at a high level. If children learn to code at a young age, their experience starts young and they are more likely to grow up with an interest in the software industry, therefore contributing to our future.
Coding is the language of math. Imagine coding being taught in every school? Learning to program involves many skills including organizing and analyzing data. Children can grow their math skills while coding, without even realizing it. Using their logic and calculation skills while creating something of their own can make math's more engaging and fun. Another big reason coding should be taught in schools.
Now that we know about why every child should learn to code, you may have come here looking to find out HOW you can teach your child to code. It’s easy to get started teaching children to code, even if you don’t have any coding experience yourself

the gorgug-porter conversation is interesting to me because like. yea for the overwhelming majority of the conversation porter’s being shitty & trying to fit gorgug into a box that gorgug just does not fit into by trying to make gorgug’s relationship with his rage more focused on the aggression aspect of it. but then there’s also this specific thing that brennan brought up again in the ap, which is that gorgug’s relationship with his rage is wholly “this is a tool i use to protect my friends.” which isn’t a bad thing! but that’s his Whole relationship with it, & gorgug seems to place next to no value on his rage in relationship to himself. which is problematic, because it’s first & foremost his rage.
being raised in a household with a sort of toxic positivity largely meant that, whether or not it was his parents’ intention, gorgug internalized the message that more traditionally “negative” emotions such as anger are the wrong response to something. part of the reason he prioritizes his artificing is probably because it’s “fixing” things. in comparison to being a barbarian, which gorgug associates with “breaking” things. good vs. bad behavior, in his eyes.
it’s a totally unacceptable bar to measure a 16 y/o by, but i do think part of porter’s reasoning for not letting gorgug multiclass is him recognizing that gorgug generally does not value anger as a valid emotional response to something, at the very least for himself. & that directly conflicts with what being a barbarian is, because whether you like it or not, that rage is what fuels you. but again, barring a kid from pursuing something they deeply care about in part (not entirely, porter has a lot of more bullshit reasons) because of their fundamental values & world outlook is crazy.
so yes, 98% of porter’s reasoning is pretty shitty, immature, rife with a toxic view that there’s only one proper way to access rage, & generally not a good thing to do as a teacher, but also within that reasoning is the 2% of ‘there is a fundamental part of yourself that you only value if you can use it to take care of other people & you need to accept that as something that can take care of you, too.’ but that’s something to discuss with a therapist or a guidance counselor, not something that should hugely impact gorgug’s academic future.
#gorgug thistlespring#fantasy high#dimension 20#fhjy#fhjy spoilers#btw these r just my personal opinions u r 100% free to disagree#gorgug & his rage interest me so deeply because of how deeply that rage existing seems to be against gorgug’s own will#like mechanically classes are choices & you can switch stuff around any time. but gorgug as a barbarian always felt like an unwilling choice#like that 14 y/o kid did not want to have rage. & that really interests me.#i’ve seen people before be like ‘what if gorgug dropped barbarian & went full srtificer’ but i feel like that simply can’t happen??#mechanically yea sure but it always felt like a core part of gorgug that the rage will always be there & it’s a matter of how you channel it#idk. dnd classes narratively being treated as ‘you can not lose this part of you’ even though you technically can#gorgug could be lvl 19 artificer & he’d still have 1 level of barbarian. because that is part of who he is.#btw i don’t think porter truly cares about gorgug valuing his rage only as a way to be a human shield#i think porter just sees that as ‘wrong’ but like. not as in ‘you need to take care of yourself’ & more ‘you aren’t conforming’#he thinks it’s wrong for the wrong reasons. the nastier ‘this is how you should be’ reasons#ppl being like ‘we r being too hard on porter. it’s an 150% courseload gorgug will be overwhelmed’ i think r missing the point bc like.#that is 100% a valid reason to not approve gorgug for multiclassing! but that’s also 100% not the reason porter rejected him.#that whole interaction was basically porter shoving his percieved version of conformity down gorgug’s throat. was v neurodivergent kid coded#no hate to anyone saying that last point btw these r all just opinions#thinking about last ep wilma & digby being like ‘you’re a great barbarian. you’re so great at it. but look at what you made!!!’ like.#they would never mean it like that. but when you only understand half of your son he is going to prioritize the half you do.

int Chelley_One_shot_set_in_@shrimperini_s_Human_AU ( int Length= 1,912 //words// char Potential Warnings[ ] = {"Blood, mentions of injury, fluff, amateur writing lol"} char String = {"Enjoy~!"}) {
printf("
Chell struggled to breathe as the cryo-pod opened. Her mind was still heavy from the enforced sleep and her temples throbbed, but even still she was able to note the reinforced glass and metal cover smoothly sliding open.
   Groggy and exhausted, she placed her hands on the sides of the cryo-pod and lifted herself up into a sitting position, eyes scanning the room.   She was in the infirmary ward, resting inside a state of the art medical pod, one of those that they reserved for cases of serious injury. She breathed in and out, trying in vain to expel the drowsiness. The infirmary smelled of so many things, few of those pleasant. The sharp scent of disinfectants dominated, though she could still pick up the scent of something burning, a bit of smoke visible in the distance. Vaguely she wondered if some catastrophic event was taking place and if this was a good time to get the hell out, before another scent invaded her nose.
  Dried blood.  She looked down at her jumpsuit. There was a large, crimson stain at the side, and the fabric was torn in numerous places. Turret shells, she mused. Her conscious thoughts were side tracked by absent minded ones in the haze of her mind, and with a half hearted huff she thought that if Rick saw her looking like this, he'd have a field day.
"Take a nice lady break and leave some adventure for the rest of us will ya?" 
That seemed about right. 
Another thought came to her mind, hazy and tired but somehow even clearer: how would he react if he saw her like this? 
She didn't know why. Maybe she was being delirious. 
  But that blond, untamed hair and deep blue eyes... She could see it in her mind's eye clear as day, his brows furrowing in worry over her sorry state, sweating from anxiousness. 
   The woman tilted her head back and closed her eyes, brows furrowed. The headache she nursed peaked, clearing away all other thoughts aside from the throbbing behind her temples. Despite her horrid appearance, she could tell any and all wounds she had sustained had been healed by the pod. Tiredly, she checked with her fingers- only smooth skin remained where she knew she'd been shot. She let a shaky exhale escape her. Chell had just woken up from medically induced stasis and all she wanted was to sleep again. 
"Oh, you're awake!" 
   She opened her eyes in surprise, lids feeling impossibly heavy, as she turned to the side and saw that Wheatley had been sitting in a bench, just a few ways from her pod.
'Had he always been there?' . She rubbed her temple, wincing. He was by her side in seconds.
"Man that test must've been a hell of a time. Not a nice 'hell' of a time of course, just to be clear- but you should be fine now! We got you here after... well, after you collapsed outside the test track. The doctors said this would fix you right up, though, granted, I haven't actually seen these before up close, never really had a reason to visit..." As he rambled, his forehead creased with worry over her far off look, and his voice softened.
"Does it hurt?"
  She regarded him for a second, then gave a weak shrug. Her eyes were indifferent as ever, looking off into someplace in the distance. Her nose crinkled as the burning scent magnified for a second. 
"Yeah, never mind the smoke," Wheatley said, words muffled a little as he pinched his nose shut, and Chell raised an eyebrow at him. He scoffed a little. "Rick's on the other side. They sent him to help contain something in the lower labs, or something like that, and he got some perpetually burning material on him. They've been trying to save his hat for an hour now."  
  Chell found herself snorting a laugh, and when his gaze retracted from the distance and returned to her a small, amused smile sat at her lips. She didn't notice, but he stared at her for a second, unable to tell if she was smiling at the thought of Rick or if she was entertained by the ridiculousness of the man being so attached to his weird hat. 
At last he exhaled and looked away with a small smile, hand coming to rub the back of his neck. 
"Oh!" Chell's eyes trailed to him again. "I just remembered something. This is for you," he held up a crinkled, orange bundle that smelled freshly washed. A new jumpsuit. "You probably wouldn't like to go around wearing a dirty, bloodied rag so I thought to bring you it." 
       Chell swung a leg over the pod, and then another as she tried to heft herself off the machine. He offered her a hand which she stubbornly didn't take, and hopped down. Her head however, decided it didn't like the movement and she lost her balance, stumbling forward. 
  Wheatley barely caught her by shooting a hand out, wrapping around her mid section to steady her before he awkwardly let go. 
  Chell had half a mind to care about the contact, her eyes shutting in an effort to will the pressure in her forehead away. Once she felt like she could move again, she took the clothes from his hand and gently pushed his shoulder, making him face away from her. 
"O-Oh, you're uh, you're going to change right now? Right here?" he asked, a little bewildered and more than a little flustered but unmoving from his position. Good. Granted, the mandatory dress code for test subjects included a pair of modestly lengthed shorts and a tank top over her undergarments but the woman didn't feel like undressing with him watching. 
Her gaze narrowed as it trailed to the ceiling, tracing the tiles inquisitively. She didn't recall being bothered by things like that before.
  Placing the clothes on the pod, Chell attempted to shed her jumpsuit. The material was stuck to her skin around her lower torso, the dried blood basically gluing it to the short hair of her body. She shut her eyes. Deep breath in, deep breath out- 
  A sharp pull after, the cloth was off. She hissed, drawing in a breath to reel herself back. It stung. Wheatley had been quiet up until then, nervously fiddling with his hands and his back turned to her, but when he heard her pained sounds he would have turned around in his worry, if  Chell hadn't stuck a hand out to keep him facing away. 
"H-hey are you okay? I can call a doctor if you need me to- " She looked at his back for a moment, and the place where her hand was resting. Upon second thought, he'd looked frazzled, nursing a cold sweat ever since she saw him. He really was worried about her well being. 
Her gaze softened on his back. 
   She squeezed his shoulder gently, before removing her hand. 
   After a minute of trying to scrub her skin with the clean parts of her jumpsuit, she put on the new set and tapped him twice in the shoulder. 
  He turned around and Chell was overcome with a soft feeling she couldn't quite place. For a moment, she thought she may indeed have brain damage as she leaned her head against his chest, uncaring for anything else but his warmth. 
She was exhausted and the mere thought of one of his warm hugs took over her mind completely. She had to duck her head and bend down a bit, but she liked it like this. Usually it was him leaning into her upper sternum, which he could barely reach. 
Today Chell, in her tired stupor, decided to flip the tables.  He seemed completely unprepared for that, voice stumbling over half formed words.  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
He had been, in every essence of the word, wholly unprepared. At long last, a few minutes later, he regained his ability to construct coherent sentences. "Umm, are you tired, love?"
A long exhale warmed his chest and he found himself even more red than he was before.  
"I'll, um, I'll take that as a yes," he said, furrowing his brows as he looked down at her. "...I really thought this'd fix you up. They said so and all, but I guess it was too much of me to expect you to jump out of there all ready for another go, hm? Optimistic but naive honestly, science has its limits too, and you more than earned a break, a break on my uh, my shoulders..." he trailed off, only now realizing his hands had enveloped her in a hug as if there was nothing more natural to them, and his thumbs had been tracing slow circles in her back. 
"Well, we'd best get you back to your room, ey? Don't want you falling asleep here, will be a little hard getting you back on my own. Not that you're overweight or anything! Perfectly healthy, but with that much muscle y'know, well uh.... Let's just not talk about that actually." 
Her grip on him was firm, unmoving. After a few minutes of this, during which a goofy little smile that he couldn't fight off had seemed to permanently etch itself onto the man's lips, he made an attempt again.
"We can't exactly stay here, y'know. As lovely as it is.. And really, quite lovely, quite lovely to hug each other like this, but you need your rest and for that you need a bed. Room. A bedroom, your bedroom, preferably..." 
He felt her shift a little more of her weight on him and sighed. 
"Alright alright, let's just get to that bench over there at least ey? I can tell you're barely holding yourself up there, missy. Come on," he said, leading her to where he'd previously sat, "one step at a time! That's it!" 
A well done was caught at his throat as he sat down and she all but flopped on top of him, half asleep. 
   It had been a good few hours later that Rick emerged from the other side of the infirmary ward, hat scorched but salvaged in hand. Grumbling and tired, he made his way to the exit, before something caught his attention from the corner of his eye. 
He froze at the sight, eyebrows shooting to his hair line. 
   It was the lady. The lady and that assistant guy, both of them dozing off on a bench. But if that wasn't amusing enough a sight, the way they were practically draped over each other definitely was. 
"Rick! Did you discover any space dust down-" 
He whipped around, making a shushing motion with his finger at Calvin. Craig, not too far behind, raised  an eyebrow at the action. 
Rick found himself grinning as he moved aside and let them take in the sight. He didn't need to look at them to see the colour draining from their faces but he did anyway. 
"The chances of this being an optical illusion are approximately ninent-" 
Rick shushed them again, before pushing them towards the exit. Boy he could not wait for the next time he came face to face with those two lovebirds, but for now, well, he'd let them enjoy their nap.

kaiagpt, how do I learn to program better? I write so many bugs
Bugs are a frustrating but unavoidable part of the programming experience. Perhaps instead of focusing on avoiding bugs, you could work on improving your debugging skills to squash those bugs faster. Here are some things you could try.
Learn to use a unit testing framework and write tests for your code as you go. That way, if your code doesn't function how you expect, you'll be able to tell immediately!
Practice using a debugger to step through your code. A debugger can let you investigate the state of your variables during execution, and can often be much faster than print-statement based debugging.
Familiarize yourself with refactoring tools. If your code is messy, it's often a good idea to clean it up by refactoring it. Knowing how to find all uses of a symbol will make this cleanup easier.
Beyond that, like with any skill, developing as a programmer involves practice. Try and learn something from every bug you fix, and soon you'll find yourself making those errors less and less.

I'm tired but I think I'm also emotionally numb at this point since I already lived through the DeviantArt machine learning fiasco.
My two cents: this isn't going to fix the problem, but I do think that artists learning the basics of making a website(NOT using wix for the love of the gods, and probably not Squarespace, probably not even carrd) is probably our only way forward. Make a gallery however you want it to look, nightshade/glaze your work if you can, and 100% make sure to include a mailing list option. I promise you people will want to sign up, even if it's just that one super enthusiastic mutual.
The internet as we know it is collapsing, but maybe there's a chance we can get back some of the energy of the early days because of it.

Ashe and I were talking about putting Slater and Piper in other YGO series, and. I thought of reworking Numeron Code to include certain plots from every series pre-Zexal; Duel Monsters' Battle City + Virtual World arc, GX's setting in a school + the presence of a cult, 5Ds' world elements like the presence of speed duels, criminal marks, etc.
It still keeps the whole "number hunt" thing a plot point though, as well as the presence of D Gazers!
Here's the initial plot outline for reference!
Piper meets Slater in a similar way as in the original NC; Slater was a fan of his, and they became friends. In addition, Piper is an upcoming student at Liberty Garden's Duel Academy; while hes waiting for the new school semester to start, he decides to pad out his dueling record by partaking in tournaments
Slater is also an upcoming student in the duel academy- he chooses to attend Unova's branch instead of Hoenn's in hopes of spending more time with his brother.
They meet and befriend each other the same way as they did in the original NC. Piper is eventually recruited by Plasma, but one of his number hunts was a speed duel in Nimbasa City; Piper and his opponent go off-course, and Piper accidentally hits Slater, who was waiting for him in their waiting spot.
Piper is arrested while Slater is comatosed. Saddled with guilt, Piper agrees to being one of the many criminals handed over by the government to Colress' virtual world project. Ghetsis goes in the virtual world to monitor Piper's progress, as all the criminals handed over to Colress are all number holders.
Funding for the virtual world project is done through both Grimsley (who was told this would ensure his brother's recovery) and through The Herald's Guidance under Team Plasma; they promise to fund Colress' project not only for Ghetsis' interests, but also because Colress promises to hand over Slater once he gets what he wants; Zinzolin is convinced that Slater is the Diviner of The Herald as he shares their appearance and didn't immediately die during that accident.
Slater didn't immediately die due to being in possession of Number 7.
Upon being uploaded in the virtual world, Piper has no recollection over the accident- or of his and Slater's friendship. Similarly, Slater doesn't remember Piper.
Piper and the rest of the criminals wake up in one part of the virtual world, where a tournament is held between them, with the prize being their freedom; Ghetsis does not participate, but he stays in a castle, watching over Piper's progress and occasionally rigging the tournament by steering certain duelists to go after him.
Slater is kept in a separate part of the virtual world; in a tower surrounded by water. However, security measures are left unchecked, and Piper ends up climbing his tower and finding Slater. He immediately pieces together that Slater is the key to getting out, as he's not part of the tournament and is the only one there without the mark of a criminal. His possession of Number 7 is masked by Colress as to not make him a target amongst the other duelists.
The first part of this Numeron Code is basically a tournament arc, as its narrated immediately as soon as they're in the simulation; the reveal that Piper and Slater knew each other, as well as their reasons for being there, happens much later. Piper duels others for their numbers, erasing them from the tournament, while he aims to escape, initially only using Slater as a way to get out- before he grows fond of him, and eventually, remembers him and their friendship.
They have a little falling out near the end of the tournament when Slater finds out; hes not angry because of the accident, but angry because Piper found out and was trying to keep it from him. During this, Slater is captured and Piper has to battle the last few duelists (one of which is a speed duel), and eventually, Ghetsis. When Piper wins, this sends Ghetsis into a shock, and hes comatosed.
Piper gets out, but when he tries looking for Slater, he realizes Slater's pod isn't in the room. Colress escapes, Grimsley finds out about what he's been funding, and N and his sisters take Ghetsis to a hospital to recover; though N encourages Piper to try to live normally for now, while they look for the culprit and find Slater's body. Piper's involvement in the initial accident, as well as the simulation, is kept under wraps- the numbers he had collected are taken by N and his sisters for monitoring, but they promise to not hand them over to Ghetsis once he awakens.
Piper starts his first year in duel academy, trying to evade rumors, especially those that claimed he looks just like the duelist that was in an accident in Nimbasa City.
Piper is baffled, as he's placed in Slifer Red despite him excelling the entrance exam; he finds out later his score was swapped with someone else, an unknown duelist in Obelisk Blue- later revealed to be Slater, who is being touted as The Diviner of The Herald, and is influencing the students of the school.
Arc 2 of Numeron Code is reworked into being a school arc- the dueling academy is actually run by Zinzolin, still working under Ghetsis' orders, and utilizing the academy to expand the reach of The Herald's Guidance; Piper, like in regular Numeron Code, rebels from the inside and tries to rescue Slater, but also tries to keep whats going on a secret, in fear that Zinzolin may try to stifle his attempts otherwise.
The rest of the arc carry on as normal, with Zinzolin being the main antagonist of this arc; he attempts to escape with Slater, the school is set ablaze, and Duel Academy is exposed, with the rest of the school year being put on hold as investigations occur.
The rest of Numeron Code carries on as normaal with slight plot changes. Colress is still eventually the "final" boss of Numeron Code, having used the simulation and duel academy as a way to push Piper to his limits and achieving true strength. Slater is still put into The Hearld of Ultimateness' armor, and they still have their ceremonial duel at the end.

How does your school work? You've mentioned a lot of interesting things about it, and now I'm really curious.
I'd be more than happy to explain! Though I can't promise to cover every interesting thing I've said because I've forgotten them all. It is a pretty cool situation that works out great for me, but if you have any questions--about my school, college in general, etc--I'd love to answer! (started over explaining, but hopefully it makes sense)
Essentially, it's a dual credit high school. I can't speak to how it works at other high schools, but my understanding is typically they might have a dual credit program where students can choose to participate in dual credit. The difference here is that my entire school is dedicated to that specific concept, built around it. Here, there is no option but to participate; it's why you go here.
Dual credit means that we're earning high school and college credit at the same time, so I've been taking college courses at an official community college since 9th grade. All of it is paid for my district, I don't have to pay for the college education.
The way it works, instead of electives (like spanish, drama, art, etc.) at a typical high-school, our electives are our college courses. These can be things like the normal electives, but they can also be things like philosophy, culinary classes, welding, etc. These classes count double, both towards the high school side of things and the college side of things--hence dual credit!
The only courses the high school offers itself are the basics, like math, english, history. They're condensed into semester long courses to match the college, and everything else is college. As you progress through any high school you need less core classes (e.g., I only had PE the first year, next year it was an open slot for an elective) and can take more electives, so your schedule also gets more free.
Right now, I'm a senior in high school, so I only have one class a day. This semester, I only had English, and next semester I'll only have Econ/Gov. I finished my math credits before 10th grade, and there's no more required science or history. So during the school year I go for an hour and a half (that's the length of one period), do my class, and then go home. (freshman have a full school day, and it gets less with each year).
The time you save you can put towards the college courses you're taking. A certain number are required each semester (with one high school class, 3 college are required. with 2 high school 2 college are required, etc.) so you count as a full student, but you can take more than that. If these classes are in person, then you'll attend them when they're held and do the work like any other homework. I've personally elected to take all my courses online because it's less draining for me, so I just go home and do my work.
My school is structured in such a way that the goal for all students entering is to graduate high school with a two year degree or a certificate, though that's not the limit. I've personally already earned several degrees.
It's also an incredibly small and close-knit school. You get in via a raffle, so you apply then they randomly select students to get in. There's about 60 kids in my grade level (if it was full there'd be 72), and almost all of us have been here since 9th grade so we're all familiar with each other. We've been taking classes together for four years. I will say that unless you're directly involved with student government or something, you won't know shit about the other grades. You only know your own because our schedules don't let us mix. And since it's so small, the teachers all know us pretty well. It's a lax and friendly atmosphere, treating us like adults in college instead of kids preparing for college.
The principal knows all our names and she jokes around with us, same with all the other faculty. The other day the principal and vice principal were standing next to the stairs talking and I passed them by, and they called to me and joked, saying, "Quil, we hear you only have a 104 in english, you better step it up!" and they complimented some of the art they'd seen for an assignment I'd done. My 10th grade English teacher gave me books from her personal collection to read and I gave her a few from mine. Even this one teacher I never had (he's new this year and teaching a grade below me) knows about me (though that may be because I'm an accomplished student, so staff tend to hear about me).
I'm probably missing something, but that's the gist of it! I take core classes at the high school, and college courses that count for college and elective credits. This gives me an incredibly free schedule (that doesn't match the rest of the district) with a personal, relaxed environment. And it's all paid for!
It's definitely not for everyone, but it's wonderful for me because I don't have to be in a place for an extended period of time and all the teachers are more than accommodating when I use fidgets and earplugs. Couldn't imagine going anywhere else :)
