do any of you know if there is anywhere where I could buy a couple books like the schools use to teach the courses? I know all schools don't use the same book, and that you people say the school books aren't that good and are too political or something(from one of the war posts), but I think if I get a couple and start learning the material now ahead of time on my own(which I do anyways cuz I havent paid much attention in class, I learn it all at home usually from the book) then next year when the class starts, I can already know how to do the parts ive learned by then, so I will start raising my gpa back up. I have slacked off the last two years and its not high enough so I have two years to get it back up before I graduate.
What I am thinking about mainly is just one for US history, I'll be taking that of course, so I want to try and learn what I can from a good US history book now so its a lot easier when I get graded for it. And also a book on Pre-calculus/anything of the sort. I am moving up to the gifted classes in that so I'll be in all gifted next year, so I just want to make sure it won't be too hard and just get a headstart on learning it all. Do any of you know where I can find books like this? Just one good US history book similar(but better would always be good!) to what they use in school, and something that would cover material a pre calculus book would. I should learn it as much as I can now while I am in the mood to improve on my grades and care about them, Im not sure how I will be thinking when next school year rolls around. I just don't want a book that will be way over my head or any person that hasn't studied the subject yet, like a history book about US history that would require you to know a lot about US history to make any sense out of it anyways.
