Hello.
I'm Mairy, and the question just about covers it.

I REALLY want to be homeschooled REALLY badly.
I know like 3 or 4 people that are homeschooled and they all said that they like it (minus the social skills- but I really could care less)

I'm a freshman in High School on my 1st semester(second semester starts late January, early February) and I would like this to apply either by next semester or MAYBE my second year in High School.

I asked my parents already and they said that they couldn't stay home. I offered tutoring, but they said it was pretty expensive and we honestly don't have the money =/

So I was wondering if MAYBE the state could fund me or something? I'm not sure...

In school I am honestly failing everything and I have just about lost my science credit which means I have to redo it sometime next year since it's a full year course.... math is horrible too.

Please help!
Any proposals on how to persuade them would be nice!,
Mairy

(Except Liberia and Burma). Measurements in the metric system are derived from scientific principles. Even the English are metric who actually invented the imperial measurements based on natural measures in a simple agricultural society. It makes no sense to retain the old system - advantages of metric are simplicity, ease of calculation and international standards. Is there any plan to bring US measurements into the modern world?

I am going to a local community college in Tennessee. I got laid off from my job, and have applied at 3 other places. My parents will not help me at all,and until I find another job i can not even get a loan. And I can't use FAFSA b/c of my parents. Can anyone help me find a way to pay for college?

I'll be starting college soon and I was wondering if roommates sleep and sit around in their underwear while their other roommates are around.
Also... Do college guys masturbate in their dorm rooms, or do they avoid doing that while at college?

My school does not start until 7:45. I get up at 6:45. Then I eat, shower, and dress into my school uniform. Then I walk to school.

I've only been late 3 times all last semester, but 3 tardies in a semester = 1 detention. So I served it the last Friday before break. It was my first one ever, and my mom was furious that I was becoming such a "bad girl." I'd say over 75% of kids are late 3 or more times a semester. (I was late during the first week of school, on Halloween since my costume was acting weird, and about 2 weeks ago since I was finishing a paper and fell asleep at my computer).

So now this is her new rule. I have to be dressed in my school uniform by 6:00 AM. This mean I have to get up to shower at like 5:30. At 6:00, I must be in my school uniform with my shirt tucked in all ready to go. But since it only takes 20 minutes to walk to school, I pretty waste an hour (6-7) in my uniform to eat breakfast and do nothing.

Why is she making me do this?

How does this help me?

I would prefer one word, not the three.

I will even take unusual words or foreign words (as long as you provide the meaning).

I recently got a .9 GPA for my Fall Semester. I am a freshman and anything below a .99 qualifies as academic suspension.

I have no idea what this means, but I plan on writing an appeal. I have battled depression this semester and college has been very overwhelming for me. I realize what went wrong, and I really need help!

Are universities extremely harsh with appeals? I would think since it's my first semester and I'm close to the cut-off point that they would hopefully give me a second chance, but I don't know anything about that.

Otherwise, if it is denied, how long does a suspension usually last? I planned on taking summer courses, so would I be able to come back in the summer?
