my school is keeping me here another semester because my credits at my old school were counted differently than this school. here, they give you a full credit per class per semester when at my old school they only gave you half a credit. the only class i failed was pe from not dressing twice. im taking chemistry 2 and advanced math this year, and if i fail either class, ill have to come back next year. do you think this is right?

It's not, but who will speak for you as a student advocate?

I have always found that a failing grade is usually equally the fault of the school, the parents, and the student. In this case most of it can be laid at the feet of the school. It sounds like they don't want to take the time to help you graduate. It doesn't sound like you are not a good student. You would think they would at least be able to come up with equivalency tests. Different schools do have different standards, curriculums, and "speed". It sounds like you need to have a long talk with your guidance counselor about this. That is what they are supposed to be available for. To help you through things like this. No reason to contact an attorney yet. Good Luck!

When you get down to the basics of the situation, no. It's not right. But different school systems have different rules and methodologies. Even if you had a million credits in one school, the next school could tell you that those million credits only equal one credit where you are now. Just do your best, and you should come out ok.

No, I don't think it's at all fair. The son and daughter each went through something similar and both decided to just take the GED and be done with it. Unless you're trying to get right into a major 4-year university, a GED will serve you just as well as a diploma. If you can't get that option to work for you, then have one of your parents advocate on your behalf with the school administrators. Someone has to go to bat for you, because American high schools are run extremely poorly, for the most part, and students aren't treated with enough respect.

you comprehend English more advantageous suited than many of the idiots who positioned up right here, which exhibits you could learn Spanish in case you position your ideas to it. i imagine you're brushing off the conception out of hand previously attempting. A 2d language is a good potential - causes your mind to imagine otherwise, a lot interior a similar way math, music or artwork does. Any language does this - even arbitrary languages like Esperanto and Klingon. And being in Florida, Spanish is type of reachable to understand, because this is in many situations spoken and all. this is compared to getting to comprehend Latin or some thing both precis as Klingon - you could somewhat turn on the television and take in or loaf round Latino classmates who can help you. enable them help you and have interaction the organic 2d language of your us of a (and somewhat your state...)

No. I think that any school who decides to fail a student based on the number of high schools he/she has attended shows poor judgement. School is about learning and receiving knowledge. If a student knows the material, then they deserve to advance to the next grade. If a student has attended 100 high schools and knows the material, then they deserve to advance.

Yes, any schools can do that. That's what happened to my son. We moved to another state and he didn't have enough credits to graduate so he took classes to have enough credits. That's life and I know it's not fair.
