Hmmm... Hmm. Hm!
I still need to schedule a meeting with my councelor, it's getting to be too late. I also need to remake the list of classes I've planned to take over my highschool years, and show her how I'm being screwed over. My Sophmore, Junior, and Senior highschool years are all planned out classes-wise. Of course there's room for error, like failing a class, but I never imagined I'd fail art... So I planned that I'd take this class one year, another couple classes the next, and eventually take AP Art my senior year. But if I can't take something this year, that's three or four semester's worth of art classes next year. To do that I'd have to drop math, because Japanese is too valuable to lose and math is the only thing I can drop. D< Grr.
In fact... *counts things out* I'm stretching it by only taking one art class this year. I'm partly relying on the skills I already have, willingness to learn, and willingess to kiss-butt to get into AP Art, since technically I'll be one class short. DAWIJF how can anybody get into this class?! Oh. No foreign language. D< Maybe I'll fail English Senior year so badly that I'll have to retake 12th grade, but still have all my other credits. Hey, then I can get into AP Psycology! <3
*kicks something*
At first I thought it made sense that Jr. High went 7th, 8th, and 9th grade, highschool 10th, 11th, and 12th. From a social standing. But now I see that if I were in HighSchool last year, I would not be having these problems. I'd have more leeway to work with, more chances for classes I want.
Afterall, it's those extra classes why students still go to school, right? If Japanese was taken away from me, I'd homeschool myself. It's really the only thing keeping me in school. The other classes being there in a seven-hour block is simply conveniance. And I know quite a few kids who skip school regularly, and some have confessed to me the only reason they haven't become a dropout is for those extra classes. Fifty minutes dedicated towards learning more about a subject you're interested in. If schools focused more on that, and less on these standardized tests, I know at least *I'd* be a lot more willing to go to school.
*is actually keeping rants like this filed away* I plan to become a teacher, though in a different country. But if I find myself in America, I'll work to put myself on the schoolboard, and seriously consider my past complaints. >__>;; I know that mandiatory classes are manditory for a reason, but instead of American History, can't I take Computer History? Or perhaps history for a different country. Because once I get out of elementary school, I'm really just re-learning a lot of stuff. Or let's say I wanted to becomea pilot. How about a highschool class teaching the sort of mathematics that might be needed, or an english class teaching the sort of logic and insight needed? Perhaps that's what college is for, but I need to get highschool out of the way first. And it shouldn't be like that--Highschool shouldn't be something to get through to get to a bigger dream, but something that helps prepare me for the next part of my life.
Garr. *is supremely tired* /Rant
Was I babbling?
