That would be impossible if it were me due to the fact I would be expelled for punching every teacher in the school.
Wow - without reading that article you would think that someone in this story was a dumb*** (most likely the girl). Little would you realize that it's the school district that's the dumb*** in this situation, and basically they're screwing with this girl's life because they messed up. That's just not right.
id just go and get my GED if i were her. 4 years of hell all over again, plus having aholes making fun of you because your a 20 year old junior.
The question though, with the quality of education she was receiving in special ed classes, would she be able to pass a GED?
What all is involved to get a GED. Ive never really seen anything on it. Is it just a test?
I don't think I saw in there, but why in the world didn't her parents do something? How could they possibly not have known their daughter was incorrectly placed. If it's just HS she has to repeat then it seems as if she wasn't in Sp. Ed. before HS. Then she is abrubtly placed in Sp. Ed. in HS? There are WAY to many unknowns about this. Seems a bit strange to me...
Had a friend in High School who had to go back for a fifth year to finish it up. He turned 20 while he was there. I never could stop making fun of him for that.
We had a kid that came back because of a head injury suffered in football his senior year. I can't remember if he just had one or two semesters to make up. They let him go through the graduation ceremony with his classmates and then came back in August to finish up.
Maybe I'm just interpreting but it sounds like the kid and the parents both knew she didn't belong there but the school didn't want to hear about it. Then after the fact the school pulls out Denis Leary's mocking "Sorry... I ****** UP!!!"
The girl shouldn't have to pay for the school's mistake. Let her take a high school equivalency test. If she passes, which she will if her IQ is 91, then give her a diploma. But if they don't the school's looking at a major law suit on their hands which I don't think they want.
I take it they'll probably sue the school over this and rightfully should. She went through 4 years of HS before they ever figured this out? Wow, another reason why our public school systems need more funding and re-evaluated standards!
I'm like some of you though, get a GED and move on. As long as you get some kind of college degree it won't matter what you had for HS education.
