I aced both the ACT and the SAT, got 24 hours' worth of AP credit, and I <i>still</i> flunked out my first semester of college and had to start over somewhere else.<br /><br />And, of course, nobody is going to call you if you're not doing well in any 4-year university or in most 2-year institutions. Nobody is going to give you extra credit that's worth more than maybe 1% of your final average. Nobody is going to do your caring about school FOR you.<br /><br />As an educator, I'm deeply disappointed at how badly the education system in general has dropped the ball on this. They don't even offer vocational courses like wood shop or auto repair anymore for the students who don't plan to go to college--so they're really hurting both college-bound and non-college-bound students very badly!Laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15116805850923318070noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29536003.post-27612467379138068802012-11-18T06:09:47.424-05:002012-11-18T06:09:47.424-05:00If we do as you ask, they will close the school an...If we do as you ask, they will close the school and we will all become absent teacher reserves.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29536003.post-13819450888008062452012-11-16T16:52:51.642-05:002012-11-16T16:52:51.642-05:00I worked very hard when I taught high school to in...I worked very hard when I taught high school to instill these very traits into my students so they would make it in college. Some got it,some didn't. I still get messages from students who tell me how glad they are that I pushed so hard.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
