+107 The school system is a joke, if I'm smarter than a Senior and all of my classes are more advanced than his why is he out of school earlier than me? Let the smart people go and make the stupid people keep going to school. amirite?

They've put in the time. It's how the system works. Get mature.

They've put in the time for what? To learn nothing, I remember when I was a Senior in High School there were so many ignorant people who just went to school everyday and learned nothing, there's no point to it.

The school system is designed to help you reach your potential as an intellectual, not teach you the most basic information that you need to survive in the world and then kick you out. The extra time you're putting in now, means you're that much smarter than the senior and more readily able to apply your knowledge in the real world, thus helping to ensure your prosperity once you graduate. If your goal is to get out as quickly as possible, just drop out once you're 16, nobody's stopping you.

I say keep the arrogant people in high school as punishment for allowing their egoes(?) to inflate to the point where they might agree with this.

There's this senior on my team who was bragging about a 4.0 even though she's in the lowest classes with early release and late start, while I'm sitting there with a 3.8 in all advanced classes and a higher math and science than her, all because I got a B in advanced english.

If your goal is to get out of school as quickly as possible, then I wouldn't call you an intellectual.

School isn't just for being "Smart" and learning generic subjects. It teaches you how to function in society, and how to relate to others on an intellectual level. Also learning a good work ethic and many other skills. Many people who were "Dumb" in school turned out to be very smart and succesfull people. Albert Einstein was a dropout, look what he did for the world.

Okay, all of your classes are more advanced than his, but what if he is in average classes (normal) and you are in way way WAY advanced classes? Just because you are more advanced than him doesn't make him stupid. And based on this statement and pretentious-ness of it, I'd say he deserves that deploma more than you. Also, do you even know how high school works? You have to get credits, i.e. put in a lot of time. Just becasue you are in advanced classes doesn't mean you have completed them.
