Hi Alex. I don't know what you mean here -- do you mean that she is in a more advanced group in school, (calculus rather than algebra?) or an older group (12th grade rather than 10th grade?), or that she belongs to a more privileged class socially?

Next time, please start a new thread instead of adding on to one that's several years old and about a completely different subject.

Thank you Khoff and sorry again

Good day to you
