pathetic.
Your parents PAY to send you to school and then the gov't forces you to go by penalization.
I never really realized it until the last few days how totalitarian the public education system is.
Thank god for private schools.

The way they work it, is there are 4 English credits required to graduate. It is very difficult to take Senior English in summer school, because students who flunked the course are given priority over kids trying to graduate early. Thereby, filling up all the slots.
*I* had 32 credits going into my senior year. Only 18 were required to graduate.
Want to guess what course I needed?

She has received over 50k in donations already last time I checked. This will allow her to stop working two jobs and concentrate on school.

just to echo what Earl Sinclair has commented on: when i was in 8th grade, i was placed in an accelerated math program. at the beginning of my junior year, i was told that i couldn't take my last math course required to graduate until i was a senior, by the same school district that had placed me in accelerated studies. the only reason given for not being allowed to take the last course: only seniors were allowed. unspoken: they wanted the credit for having one more butt in a seat for a whole extra year, for lack of one lousy credit. i dropped out, took my GED, with the school protesting loudly that i was throwing my life away, and went to college. since i got my college degree, i have never once been asked in the last 20 years about my high school diploma/GED. (except to confirm to the Army that i indeed had one)

Private schools are no better. Same BS only on a higher level. BTDT. My sister was at a Lutheran school and finished all her required coursework 2 years early at 15 with a 4.0. She was accepted to an excellent college. 40 years ago, they required a diploma. The school refused to give it to her because she hadn't satisfied their residency requirement. It took the personal intervention of the president of the college to get her diploma.
She went on to finish the 5-year coop program in accounting in 3 years, with a double major in music, graduating magna cum laude. She missed summa because she got a B in a PE class.
The whole system is BS. My youngest just graduated from an Ivy last weekend after being homeschooled through high school.
