I can't take another day of summer school. Today was so stressful. The kids were mean, loud and irritating. The work was impossible to understand because I am terrible at auditory learning. I have only 3 days left to get out of summer school without a grade penalty, but I do not think my NT parents will understand. All they will say is 'suck it up' because they think I am normal or something.

:cry:

Maybe you could try drinking some herbal tea before school. Its good for calming nerves. If you only have 3 days left you'll have to decide if a grade penalty is worth leaving early. (that would depend on how severe the penalty is & what it will mean for the next school year)

I would get a withdrawal from class and an F for that semester. I have 13 days left to do the class though, and that means I wont have to do a semester of math ever again.

If it were me, I would stick out the rest of the class. But, I'm not in your position, it may be worth withdrawing. How is the teacher? Do you have a resource other than your classmates since you aren't understanding the work? If the teacher is willing to work with you/you have a resource for a tutor, it could be doable. But if you aren't comprehending the material and have no tutoring resource, then I say it is not worth it. You're in Alg II, correct? You need to know how to do some of that, at least. PM me if you need more help.

I'd stick it out just to avoid ever having to do math again, but that's just me.

Are the kids mean to you?

If they are just ignore them and they will get bored and stop.
Try to sit as far away from them as possible and do the above.

And I dont know if its possible, but speak to your Summer School teacher after class. And see if there is anything she can do to help you to learn better. To have written instructions instead of having to hear.


Im sorry :(

Good luck to you.
