Thank you for the advice! Part of the problem with the schooling so far is the difference in how I and my parents view it. One time when we argued over the at the time current system's merits, I held that the education should match the student's abilities so that he/she would still be able to develop study skills, else there would be problems later in life when the learning becomes too difficult to rely on genius alone. They dismissed this question out of hand, saying that I should just worry about it when it becomes a problem (which in my case will be during advanced undergrad or grad school). I have one sibling who also wasn't challenged in high school. She's now taking junior and senior-level math courses at a competitive college and is really struggling due to her lack of preparation in study skills. I am now worried that the same will happen to me.
