Driving school & SUMMER SCHOOL?!! WOAH!
I'm 15. And pretty dumb..Not at the point where i'm retarded, but at the point where i have to go to summer school. I really want to get my permit over summer & go to this driving school, but I have summer school(I already found out I need to take it..). And everything is going to be hectic. Plus I'm about to get a job(i know right, a job at 15...but I got the hook ups =]). And I might keep that job over summer too. And i can't take the driving lessons when i'm still in the school year, because things are very busy with homework and stuff. I seriously don't know what to do. So this is what I was thinking. I asked my counsler at my school about summer school & asked if I can do independent study for the classes that I failed, but she said she WOULDN'T RECOMMEND it because kids do really bad. So this is what I was thinking:
Take independent study over summer & do my driving school and then go to my job. I know that my counsler said she wouldn't recommend it, but it's not like i'm those other students.
If you guys can help me out a bit on what I should do, and how I should do it, that'll mean alot.
Also, what do you do for independent study over summer? I've heard of the word & knew you do things on your own, but what exactly is it? What goes on & stuff?
Thanks a bunch.

Want to answer more questions in the Work & School category?
Maybe give some free advice about: School?
First of all it kinda sounds like your just going to mess everything up even more then it really is. I did summer school 2 summers ago it started at 745 ended at 11 am. I went monday thru thursday. Im not sure what independent study is but if you do it on your own time you most likely wouldnt get it all done.
Summer school is 3 weeks to 6 weeks.
3weeks- half credit
6weeks- 1 credit.
Heres your choice.
Drivers ed usually last a couple hours a week. You can hold off drivers end until after summer school. Depending how long you have to go.
You can get a job and hold it just work after summer school.
Sorry If i didnt give the best answer but its what it got:)

You sound like you are full of excuses. If you really wanted to make it happen, you could fit it into your schedule. Driving school is only a few hours a week isn't it?
And even if you had to wait until the next school year, why can't you do it then? All the other students manage to. Why is your life so different? I managed to fit in Drivers Ed while in school, working, volleyball, and youth group.
As for independent study - I don't recommend it. I did correspondence classes, and they were some of the hardest and most time consuming classes I had. They give you twice as much work to do then any normal class because you are teaching yourself.
My history correspondence class for example: I had to read every chapter and answer every question in the book. (You know the 30 questions at the end of every chapter.) I also had work sheets on top of that. As well as 3 papers and a 2 tests. It was awful!

IF you want to go through with it, go through with it. But you better keep up and get the help that you need. Get the work done then and there. You know how it is, and you know how very important it is. No one else besides yourself knows this so let that mean very much of significance to you. However, I recommend that you attend Summer School. Summer School is so much more important than getting your liscense. I say this b/c at my school, if you fail summer school, you simply stay back the entire grade. There are no independent studying over the summer. It really is serious plus we pay $200-400 dollars. But if you KNOW that you can do it and that you will be a 100%competent, then go for it. And good luck.
