<p>lol all i have is my nonexistent cc post count ranking...</p>
<p>kebreee-</p>
<p>you aren't going to have a diploma, correct?</p>
<p>i think i'm dropping out of my high school :) so i might be needing some advice</p>
<p>wait, how is your rank 1/1? Are you home-schooled?</p>
<p>sort of, ilovemath...I'm officially homeschooled but I'm taking a full course load at the local university</p>
<p>ilcapo--my mom signs my diploma, lol. I laugh just thinking about it. I wonder if I have to send that to Princeton....</p>
<p>dropping out of <em>actual</em> highschool has been fun....I'm done with my courses this fall and then have 9 months in which I only have an English and US. Govt. class to do....yay...</p>
<p>wait kebree, i need hardcore help.</p>
<p>can you go to the parents forum and read my posting "Do I need a diploma?"</p>
<p>Pleease. I'm experiencing a crisis, and I really am going to be dropping out...however I don't think in NY you can be granted a diploma if you are home schooled.</p>
<p>What's going on? Is it really that bad? Is it the courseload or something?</p>
<p>Homeschoolers in every state are able to get a diploma (or at least an equivalent), I think.</p>
<p>Yea, its bad. I only take 3 courses at the high school + gym, and I need this psychology class to graduate. What I want to do is just not take psychology and gym, and simply not get a diploma.</p>
<p>Okay, sorry...just read the other thread.</p>
<p>I would only drop as a very last resort. Even if the teacher is being anal about it, just stick it out for the last month*...it won't look good to drop mid-year. It's one thing to have planned a "homeschooled" year for a reason (I'm going to Europe the 2nd semester so I organized my school year around it) and it's another to have a breakdown mid-year and drop out. Your situation definitely doesn't look like fun, but like I said, dropping out should be a very last resort.</p>
<p><em>I'm guessing that the university courses are single semester...won't you be able to get a different schedule next year? If so, talk to the teacher and explain that it's only for another month, that you *really like the class and don't want to drop it</em>....
If they try to insist on dropping you from their class, keep going to the administration about it. There's no way they won't excuse several extra absences for outside classes.</p>
<p>I read the parents thread, and it sounds like you're in a real c r a p situation. But if all possible, I'd try to stick it out and get your high school diploma - you've made it most of the way; it wouldn't be worth it to drop now and regret it later. Plus, don't you kind of want to walk across with your class?</p>
<p>I'm assuming you've already talked to your psych teacher extensively, but maybe mention that you're trying to challenge yourself outside what is offered at your school; and while you're very regretful it interferes with her class you're still dedicated in your coursework, as seen by your 96 average. Maybe see if there's something extra you can do to make up for the time you've missed, maybe go to some exhibition or write a reaction to a movie/play, do some research... etc. etc. </p>
<p>Oh and be sure to mention how you're frustrated that you have to keep missing a class that interests you, but you don't have any other option...</p>
<p>p.s. ++ i'm going to bed early tonight, hope everything works out for you, ilcap!</p>
<p>have a good wednesday and sleep well, everyone</p>
<p>bises xxxxx</p>
<p>thanks for the responses kids.</p>
<p>yes, im screwed. no i dont want to walk with my class, i hate my ****ing high school and i dont plan on doing it anyways.</p>
<p>whats frustrating is that i tried so hard. i killed her with kindness! i explained my situation every day, and discussed the intense courseload, etc. - and now...she acts like this. i cant even imagine going to class tomorrow after todays falling out. bah!</p>
<p>what does your mom think? sometimes they can offer good advice.</p>
<p>my mom got diagnosed with lupus today!!</p>
<p>way to compound the horribleness!</p>
<p>ilcapo: please do not let this one situation---no matter how bad it seems---damage your transcript. Even if you and the teacher are mortal enemies, keep taking the class. It's not worth the consequences.</p>
<p>Edit: Wow. Sounds like you've had an "Elizabeth Edwards Nov. 2nd"...but don't let the situation at school get you down. Maybe Dec. 15th will bring something to offset it. =)</p>
<p>aww let's send all our love to ilcapo.</p>
<p>no kidding...</p>
<p><em>shouting in NY's general direction:</em>
"We love you, ilcapo!"</p>
<p>hah, kebree - perfect analogy</p>
<p>we lose the election, then we find lumps.</p>
<p>we drop out of school, then we find rashes.</p>
<p>oh man, now i just got into a fight with my mother.</p>
<p><--------contemplating suicide.</p>
<p>no no no (said like your crab does)</p>
<p>Come on ilcapo, we know you for your co cky confidence and I'm am sure you're strong enough to survive this. And yes, we do love you.</p>
<p>we all have horrible days like this and you just have to work through them, i know that probably sounds like something you've heard a lot before but sometimes we feel like the world is crashing down upon us and we just need to take a deep breath and a hot shower and sleep on it</p>
<p>maybe i can go make fun of some poor people...</p>
<p>that always makes me feel better.</p>
