Question Posted Monday April 17 2006, 7:53 pm

I'm going to tell it like it is. I'm not bragging or dramatizing anything.

I am a 13-year-old girl and I am...well...pretty smart. I thought I was doing well and I really like school, but for some reason, I am doing really bad according to my last progress report...D's and F's with a few A's. I know I can do better. I was in montessori for 2nd grade and 5th grade and I really liked it. My mom thinks it's an 'organization' problem, but that seems like she's calling me a slacker. Once I went into middle school (I am in 8th grade right now), everything started going downhill. I love my school, teachers, and friends, but I am considering switching, after my mom said, "Maybe there's another way to teach you.". I've researched on Google, and there are no montessori highschools (at least in my state). It is quite impossible to be homeschooled. I am wondering what other types of schools are out there for me besides one of those "bad kid" boarding schools. Thanks for reading! <3 <3 <3

Not all boarding schools are for kids with behavior problems. In fact alot of private boarding schools are really amazing. So don't count them out because of a reputation you've heard.

Depending on where you live, you could attend an online highschool. You can take all classes online. Doesn't work for everyone, though.

Also, there are religious schools. They tend to be smaller and more focused.

But if you like your school, why leave it? Talk to your teachers and your counselor, and ask them for advice. They can probably help you out.
