ot accepted into a good bit of schools, DePaul, St.John’s Queens, UConn and Drexel. My grades are ok Bs, B+s and one or two A-'s. But in math I’m pulling a D+, I tried over and over again to get out of this class because I tried to tell my teacher and anyone who would listen that I did not know the material or with the speed of the course, no one listened and I’m stuck in the course. My teacher admits that he made a bad move by refusing to sign the paperwork to get me out of his class and his higher ups feel around the same too. I’m TERRIFIED that my schools are going to last minute take away my seat even AFTER i commit to a school! I do my homework in this class, I find my teacher insufferable, but I do get outside help on average at least once a week. My mid-year said I was doing a D+ and I didnt hear a word from any school, I even got into two of the schools listed earlier after mid-year reports were sent. I’m just really scared since I know this will be another quarter pulling a D+ and even though this class and teacher has really sucked the vitality out of me, it was all just replaced with anxiety. I don’t want my biggest nightmare met I don’t know what to do i feel helpless
Talk to your GC about options such as withdrawal of extra tutoring for this class. What does your counselor say about potential for withdrawal of admissions. Can you retake the math class online or this summer to replace the poor grade. Rather than worry, ask help from your school. Trashing your teacher in never helpful or acceptable to pleading your cause. Lots of posts say something like the student takes full responsibility, but the teacher…finally, think about your strategies for learning. What was your strategy when you felt successful and did well on tests? That information could be very helpful.
@zannah thanks for the tips, I tried appealing to the math director to get out of this class but he rejected it so there is no way out of the class. I do use my schools math lab when I can and I do study for quizzes and tests and of course, I do my homework. The hope is that I’ll get academic probation first or a warning and I’ll be able to appeal to them since none of my other grades are dropping that dramatically. My GC and even my math teacher can vouch for me. I intend to keep on pushing through but given the way things are going I’m not optimistic and I want to prepare for the worst to happen
