[Ryguy89]

that blows...go to the counselor

[disjetten]

usually most schools let u go on saturdays and make up time.. if they dont u can appeal it in court, like you can say that your grades havent suffered etc..

[Oxford]

WEll, shouldn't thise things be excused? Talk to your counselor to get excuses for those days.

[Astro]

How are your grades. If your grades are passing then you shouldn't be held back. Especially if you pass your exams.

[Cappo40]

What you can do is attend the rest of the year...If you do and you keep your marks up high they won't keep you back!

[jody]

okay thanks you guys! yea im definitely going to go talk to my counselor, this whole situation is very stressful!!!! ggaahhhhh

[tomcut2000]

I think talk to the conselor as soon as possible and let them deal with it....

[Jounouchi]

Just get it all excused and then you'll be able to make up the work.

[jody]

yea thats what im going to do, my counselor told me that she told my teachers to give me major slack especially since of the big situation im in. thx again.

[RawrRAwr]

Did you ever stop to think that maybe you should take it again?

I mean after all you did miss alot of it.

[jody]

no, the counselors are the ones who always pulled me out of class. besides the only classes that matter right now for me is english and history.. the rest is proctoring and P.E.. im actually thinking of just doing independent studies for the last quarter because it gives double the amout of credits.. i know it gives more work for its only for two classes..

If your counselors have been the ones causing you to be absent so much in your classes then those absences should be excused. The same goes for you're illness.

Don't go to the counselors, they're the cause of the problem. Go to the principal and if you have to.

Even so, I wouldn't worry, unless they tried to fail you in Junior English. Highschool is based on a credit system. Whats great about this system is if you bust your ass one year you can recover from a bad year.

Like in my school you need 23 credits to graduate, but around 20 to be considered a senior. So theoretically, you can start your fourth year of highschool still considered a Junior at 18 or 19 credits, but you can graduate that June, provided you passed all of the classes you needed. Which would be five, including one English and possibly a gym if you didn't double up the year before.

This is why there is a fifth transitional grade in my school known as the freshmore. And of course the 6th grade of super senior. :D

Yoy only needed 23 credits to graduate! Lucky! In Ontario you need 30 credits. I graduated with 31 since I only took 1 spare in Grade 12.

[jody]

In my school you need at least 220 credits.. the credit system is different, but right now i have hundred something credits.. i really hope this all works out. this would suck so much!

Do you get 1 credit for each class? If so that sucks.

[jody]

that would suck

[Astro]

Yeah, we get 1 credit per class, so its 30 classes in the 4 years of high school.

[jody]

wow

[Astro]

wow

I take it thats alot? It isn't that bad, 8 classes a year for 4 years with 2 spares that you can take in Grade 11 or 12.

[Hologide]

points? how does this system work?

[jody]

OKAY UPDATE:

i talked to my counselor today and she said that the attendance office was just bullshitting me, i don't have to do junior year over again. i only have to make up credits that i've missed, which isn't hard. THANK YOU GOD! wow... so i might do independent studies cuz that gives you double the credits. sweet.

[Astro]

Glad to hear that everything is all settled. Thats really fuc*ed up for the attendance office to do that to you.

[jody]

i know man.. my dad cussed the attendance office dude out cuz he was like.. well it cost us money to send papers to the state for his absences and my dad was like "I DON"T CARE WTF YOU DO! just do it!" and stuff.. idk.. im pretty mad at the A.O. too.. they suck mucho ass for that one

[Sarah90]

Thats so sad...are your grades good? If they are, then theres no reason for them to hold you back =D

[tomcut2000]

Well done on getting the problem sorted and don't stress about it anymore as it is bad for your health....

[TISA*]
