i need advice on high school matters dealing with credits?

Question

first of all, i want to say that my grades are fairly good. my grades are slightly better than average, but im on the verge of failing. i dont have enough credits to graduate on time. ive been to 4 different highschools and my last school's credit system was different than this one. i was only given 1/2 credit per semester at my old school and this school gives you a full credit per semester. at my old school i needed less credits to graduate because the classes gave you less credits. when i came to my new school, i was short of credits because of my old highschools credit system. my grades were good enough to get me into both chemistry 2 and advanced math yet im about to fail? i dont think this is right at all. i want to graduate with the rest of my class. where should i go to get help? ive talked to a couple of my teachers and my counsler but they arent helping me. theyre just telling me to take a night class but i really just want to graduate normally like i should be able to.

Answer 1

TRY GETTING XTRA CLASS OR TAKE CLASSES ON THE WEEKEND I DID THE WEEKEND THING ITS HARD BUT, ASK, IF UR SCOOL DOESNT HAVE IT ASK IF OTHER SCOOLS AROUND DO U CAN GET BUSED THEN WHEN THE TIME COMES HAVE THEM TRANSFERED TO YOUR SCOOL, U'LL BE FINE JUST ASK AND DO WHAT EVER U CAN.U CAN DO IT IF NO 1 HELPS JUST PUSH THEM TO HELP U. TELL THEM THATS WHAT THEIR THERE FOR NOT JUST TO SIT AROUND.

Answer 2

If the class material is equivalent, only the credit system is different, that is absolutely ridiculous.
If your teachers and counselor won't listen to you, have your parents talk to them. Maybe they'll take it more seriously if your parent complains about it.

Also, try to contact a teacher or counselor at your previous school, so you could have them back you up in proving that the classes are all the same classes, it's just that the credit system is different.

You shouldn't be punished like that because schools have a different way of labeling their classes! Fight for your right, because I can't believe your current teachers and counselors are being so ignorant and lazy! (Lazy for not trying to find out whether or not the classes did, indeed, cover the same material.)

Answer 3

Try getting your old school to send a note about how the credits work and compare them to your new schools. Or get your parents to go talk to the school staff people, usually they will listen to parents rather than the actual student. That really sucks about your situation and I wish you good luck. Hopefully my advice is somewhat helpful.

Answer 4

Have you spoken to your parents and have they spoken to the principal at your high school? If no one is willing to help you at your school I would go to the district head office.
I'm assuming that the courses you took at your old school match up with the ones at your new school if you were to take them there, so they should give you credit for them.

Answer 5

usually schools have career centers. You can apply for a job and they give you credits for it. Hope I was helpful. Good Luck. I'm sure you'll graduate.

Answer 6

Talk to the head of the school and request to consider the crediting of your subjects.

Answer 7

I would suggest talking to your counselor or registrar or someone and discussing your issue. Possibly you can appeal or petition and be able to graduate with the rest of your class.

Answer 8

you need to take it up with the board of directors and get your parents involved. They will listen to your parents before they listen to a student.
