Is there any high school math class that covers basic probability and statistics? And thanks, tommy.
I had statistics in a high school math class. Maybe algebra? I can't remember if I studied probability in high school.
Right, there comes a point where you have to either move on, or just buy yourself a Klingon costume and go with it.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

My math courses were Algebra, Geometry, Precalc, AP Calc. I think I could have done AP Statistics but chose to take more science courses instead. Granted, I went to a nerd magnet school.

I know we did probablility and very rudimentary statistics, but I went to high school in NYS where we had math called Course One, Course Two and Course 3, with everything all mixed up in them. I think it was course 2.

Because books.
Now I remember a friend taking a statistics course in high school. Hmm. This is all for a pretty throwaway line in something I'm writing, so I'm not sure how much it matters, but thanks, all.
My math courses were algebra I, algebra II remedial, and I think that was it. I managed to get away with some completely bullshit math survey course freshman year of college -- we read Flatland and the annotated Alice in Wonderland, and didn't actually ever *do* a math problem, if I remember right. My math phobia was pretty hardcore.

Happy birthday, msbelle! I will think pink all day in honor of the occasion.
So, Emmett has been accepted into three colleges already. So he's going somewhere next year.
