God dammit school
Jan. 23rd, 2009 03:38 pmOkay lets have a talk, if you the administrator of the school program, found out that that some of your students had failed Pre-Calculus, what do you do?
Do you tell the students immediately after finding this out around the end of December? Allowing them to retake it in the Spring Semester and get it over with as soon as possible.
Or do you procrastinate and wait until two weeks after Spring classes have started? So that it is too late for them to sign up for Spring classes.
Well, my school chose the latter, and as you can guess, I am not a happy Starry now. I'm pissed off, why the hell would they wait so long to tell me I don't know. And now they're saying that they want me to take it online during the summer *headesk* Just what I needed after I have already decided to take another class over the summer. Oh well, at least half the class failed too. So either they all suck as bad as me or the teacher epically fails at teaching math I dunno...

Don't let it worry you TOO much - they're the ones at fault, so things should work out to your benefit. If I were you, I'd INSIST that they allow you to sign up - they have an obligation to tell you immediately, not piss around with it, mmmyes.

God I just hate taking it over, I hated that class.
