Okay so I go get registered for school one day and me and my mom are just walking out of the building when I took a quick glance at my schedual and saw that none of the classes assigned to me were ones that I had requested the previous year. I was thinking... hmmm maybe they just threw me in random classes because registraition was hectic...? (My old school in Cali was like that.) So we went back inside and tried to make an appointment with my counselor... turned out he/she wasn't in at the moment, so, the appointment was schedualed at 9:30 the next morning.
I go to school, to my first class 'financial math' and sit there while the teacher babbles on about some random s**t that I know nothing about (I started late, and what is really stupid is that the school needs students to register again each year, I never got registered again. SO the days I was gone (4 out of 6 days im allowed to be absent) they counted as absences even though I havn't even gotten registered the second time yet.
If these absences add up with no legit excuse EX: Doctor's note if sick (Which is the only thing they will accept... I will go one about this later in the post) then your credits are taken away for the semester and you basically have an F in every class, and you cannot make up these F's. Even if you had an A in the class they bring it down to a permanent F.
Anyway I'm sitting in financial math, twiddling my thumbs, waiting to be called up to the office so I can resolve my schedual issues.
9:30 came and went.
I went to my next class which was Biology, the teacher gave me a stack of paper and had two delinquents sitting at the same table explain them to me because the b***h was too lazy to do it herself. The delinquents weren't that great at explaining ANYTHING so I was left lost and not knowing what to do for class, so I just sat and waited to be called up to the office.
I got lost on the way to my next class, I was so frustraited I wanted to just sit against the wall and cry for the whole hour... but despite my loathing of the students attending that school (except my good friends Casey and Beau) I asked directions to the room... (which was hidden in the back of the gym building, and if I hadn't asked I would have never found it) The teacher was really nice and I liked her, she seemed the type that I'd get along with really well the whole year. (This was health science) SCIENCE COUNT: 2
I knew I needed Health science as a requirment so I thought of leaving that class in on my permanent schedual... that is if I could even make a new permanent schedual...
After that I looked at my schedual knowing wether or not I had to go to lunch because the damn things don't tell you, the teacher in the class before lunch was sussposed to tell you. But she never told me... I don't blame her, there are like 45 students in the class.
SO I walk to my next class, World Geography and see that the lights are off and the door is locked... I find a girl and ask her if she could find out what lunch I have, she said she didn't know, but she'd ask the teacher... and speak of the devil he appeared out of the men's bathroom right behind us. He told me that I had godforesaken first lunch... I saunter off, lonely and hoping to have 1 of my two friends in the same lunch...
Nope, both of them have second lunch. I find Casey but she tells me shes waiting for a bus to take her to commercial art.
When shes gone I just sit alone near the soda machenes, then one of the nazi teachers tells me to move.
WHAT THE HELL? IM JUST SITTING DOWN!?
I move to a corner farther away, they tell me to move again.
WHAT?! Are they afraid I'm going to put a dent in the concrete?
The bell rings and I walk to my next class on the verge of tears. I sit down in the back of the class and some random girl tells me to get out of her seat even though there isn't a seating chart.
I walk to another chair and throw my now 50 pound backpack into it and plop down about to scream at the next person that talks to me.
Some guy walks up and tells me I'm in his seat, I pick up my back pack and give him the most hateful look I have ever given to anyone. He sits for a moment and says "never mind I'll just sit over here..." he waddles over to the next seat and sits down timidly.
Tears start forming in my eyes and I do my best to wipe them away, a boy on the other side of the class sees this and looks surprisingly concerned. I do the work I'm assigned and doodle all over the sheet I'm sussposed to have my parents sign...
Then the class was over and I walk from one side of the campus to the other and climb up to the third story barely able to make it before the bell rings.
This class is by far the most pointless class of the day... Environmental Science!
The point of that class is to pick up other people's trash they left in the parking lot! Doesn't that sound fun?
I call it hippie science and as soon as I can get the schedual thing worked out, I'm so dropping that peice of s**t class.
SCIENCE COUNT: 3
My last class was English 4... it wasn't so bad, just had to write a 3 paragraph essay about Beowulf... the earliest known Mary Sue... the ancestor of Mary Sues!
After school my mom told me that I couldn't get my schedual changed and that all of those classes are 'requirements' when the last time I spoke with my councelor she helped me put together an easy schedual that would easily get me to graduate, and now when I come back I have all of these bogus classes!
Next semester can only get worse...
Two math classes, two sciences, a government class, and some other peice of crap class...
No art.
It turned out that I had a credit deficiency when last year my councelor said my credits were fine.
Did the standards for credits get changed while I was gone? And the graduation requirments?
The school's entire polocy is something that Hitler himself would have been proud of!
Firstly, the school is named after a man who fought in the civil war supporting slavery and the suppression of African Americans.
Secondly, the school's polocys are highly unfair to all students:
*If you are tardy to a class you are absent which is added to your absent days.
*If you are absent for a certain number of days (6 now) your credits are snatched away and you are left with a permanent F.
*The only thing that MAY escuse absences is a signed note from the doctor proving that you were sick and had to stay home.
If it was a small illness that doesn't need medical attention a parent note will be nothing, you absolutely must have a doctor's note.
*If there are problems at home like a divorce or anything... they dont give a flying ******** about it. They still count that against you and will still inforce their polocy against you and take away all of your hard earned credits. (Now I see why so many students drop out of that school, they don't even get another chance)
*There are no programs to help troubled youths. They only want your money.
*They make you pay fees for classes that don't need fees like 'financial math.'
*The lockers are located in inconvinient places, people using them have been late to class. (I dont use one because I wasn't assigned one for some UNKNOWN reason)
*They don't give you enough time to get from one class to another. (5 minutes does not get you from one side of the campus to another and up three stories).
*There is no personal time, lunch is only 25-30 minutes long and it takes 20 minutes to wait in line and get a 'lunch' (which can be compared to prison gruel).
*Classes are too unnessisarily long, I find myself spacing out with nothing to do every day (This was last year).
*Class time is wasted for 'searches' where students are taken out in the hall and scanned with a metal detector while their backpack is being rummaged through by people inside the class. All electronics (except cell phones because they allow those now whereas last year one glimpse of a cell phone and it was taken away immediatly) are taken away and kept in the office for a parent to pick up later... (This is a violation of privacy!)
*You aren't allowed to sit where ever you want, you can get sent to the office for sitting in certain areas!
Now, here I am, stuck with this concentraition camp for the entire year...
Why must life hate me so?
...
Well, gotta go finish that stack of homework I had to bring with me to Arkansas...
