Zebediah:
No, she skipped the 10th grade. After having skipped 3rd grade. In both cases because she was so far ahead of her peers academically that they didn't know what else to do with her. This was in a small school in the North Carolina mountains where advanced placement classes simply weren't offered.
If she'd grown up in a large city, like I did, she would not have skipped any grades but likely would have graduated high school with enough college credit to skip her first year of college.
ReindeerFlotilla:
Cheerleaders travel in packs. Vicious hungry packs. This is one of the reasons all Americans carry automatic weapons and have so many explosions (that we walk away from without reacting to. Preferably in slow motion). Another reason for all the explosions is that our motor vehicle engineering is not German, but that's not related to high school.
Sometimes Cheerleaders stack. This allows them draw more patriotism from the Nation's leylines giving them a boost in speed and strength. Sometimes Cheerleaders are boys. For some reason they are issued pants by the authorities. It's not clear why.
Should you encounter a cheerleader, do not make eye contact. Try not make any sudden movements. Back away, but do not run. If a cheerleader becomes hostile, try to make yourself look bigger than you are. One way to do this is standing next to a skinnier/shorter friend. Cheerleader hostility is characterized by backflips, gesticulating with pom-poms, and demands that you join them in spelling simple words.
Method of Madness:
Cheerleaders annoyed me, but only when they would interrupt our playing with an inane chant. (I was in marching band if you couldn't tell)

Actually no, we met in our mid-30s.
My wife was also a non-stereotypical cheerleader in that she was also her class valedictorian, despite graduating two years early.

My class had a lot of overachievers... there was a six-way tie for valedictorian. :psyduck: I was seventh, because I chose to take a computer programming course instead of AP Biology (the way they counted it, AP courses counted for extra).

So… did they make them all give valedictory speeches and make you salutatorian as well?
(For those playing along at home, being made valedictorian is how high school teachers punish the brainy kids for giving them more paperwork to do. I understand the pin on the badge is unnecessarily long and sharp…)
