Geometry to Algebra
Today I went to see my counselor. Please note its nine weeks into the school year. I just realized I failed Algebra 1 last year, and at the beginning of the year, he put me in Geometry. So, Ive been taking Geometry & getting excellent grades in there (: But, today I went to see him because my mother wanted to find out if I could take summer / night school. He dropped my Geometry class & placed me into an Algebra 1 class. Which I wasn't too pleased about. I went to my new class & I really don't fit in AT ALL. I don't know anybody in there, and all of the people were black. [I'm really not trying to be racist or ANYTHING like that, I just felt out of place, I'm white.] & They just STARED at me, like wtf is she doin here! I was so scared no joke.
Tomorrow, I'm going to see my counselor again to find out if I can do anything to get back into my regular Geometry class, because I was doing so well & actually had friends in there. Do you think it'll be possible for me to get back into Geometry, without taking Algebra 1 first?
Please no stupid responses, for Algebra last year I had a really bad teacher & didn't learn stuff well. Thanks a lot. I'm a sophmore, 15/f

erggg... actually you should take algebra before geometry just because you'll be using a lot of algebra when you're finding like the hypotenuse of a triangle and of like a hexagon, so i'd suggest trying to take algebra as a correspondence so that you can just do it on your own... even during geometry.. that way you can still get the things you need to know and you can be happy in the class you're in (geometry) good luck!

I really think that you should be able to get back into geometry, I can honestly feel your discomfort and I'm not even you.
I can definetly understand the way you feel out of place because everyone else is black. Algebra is honestly easy, you just have to pay attention and concentrate on only that. The good side to staying in your algebra class would be not having close friends in that class. Friends tend to distract, and the teacher needs your full attention to teach you every step of the way in Algebra. So if your parents or your counselor don't let you switch back, think of things that way, because it's true. I'm not saying that you won't make new friends, just not close friends in the class to distract you. And also, if the teacher is mean, I know thats the last thing you need for a math teacher, but don't hesistate to stop the teacher and ask them to show you how they did the problem again, and if you still aren't understanding the second time, ask after class. The teacher will respect you when he/she knows that you turn in your work on time and truly do your best to understand.

Tell your mom and have her bitch to the guidance counselor about it!! That always works for me! That guy should have listened to you, what an idiot for doing exactly what you didn't want. If he can't listen to you, he should be able to listen to your mom. Seriously, that's gotten me out of detentions and all sorts of things (mind you, they were detentions I truly did not deserve!) It may seem immature but if the school isn't going to treat you like an adult, then get your mother to back you up. That stupid counselor should know better.
