im the person who asked about the english class. this is a completely different question, but its more serious than the other.
well..today was the first day back to school. my math class on the schedule is algebra 3. when i went to algebra 3 today, i showed my teacher my transcript because thats what we have to do. she saw my previous algebra grades and they were 97's. she asked me why i wasnt in Honors Analysis instead (which is a more advanced class than algebra 3), and i said its cuz i wanted to be in algebra 3. well, she somehow got someone to call my mom to arrange a schedule change from algebra 3 to honors analysis. my mom agreed.
so when i got home from school, my mom told me and i started crying. its because last semester i took an AP class and i was completely overstressed to the point of depression, and i wanted to take a lighter load of classes this semester.
my mom wont change her mind. i dont know what to do..im very upset and emotional because i dont want to go through another long, very difficult semester.
please help. :[

Their there to help you, so in a day or so arrange a meeting with her and tell her/him that you math teacher called you mother and they agreed to move you to a class you realllly didn't want to be in. I'm not sure how your school works but for mine usually we cannot leave a class unless we're failing. But I'm sure if you talk to your guidance councler talk to him/her and stress to them how much you don't wanna be in this class I'm sure the problem can be fixed. I hope I helped and you get out that class. [ soccergurlie1220's advice column | Ask soccergurlie1220 A Question ]

Sabine answered Monday January 8 2007, 9:14 pm: I agree with the advice to see a counselor. Maybe the counselor can speak with your Mom. Is your Dad in the picture? Can he intervene?
I guess I'm of the opinion that if you're old enough to legally drop out (16, right?) you should be old enough to make your own schedule decisions. That's how I would put it to the counselors.
Jess5764 answered Monday January 8 2007, 9:03 pm: I would say just deal with it. I mean, your schedule isn't THAT bad. Take it from someone who is taking 5 AP classes this year as well as sports every day after school.
That was pretty stupid for them to do that behind your back, though. If you're really worried about it just make them switch you back because in the end it should be your decision. [ Jess5764's advice column | Ask Jess5764 A Question ]
queenhearts answered Monday January 8 2007, 8:14 pm: Talk to your previous teacher and tell her why you wanted that class.
Go to a conselour and talk to them. It's not right for someone to call in and arrange a schedule change without talking to you first! It's NOT their decision.
You could always ask for a schedule change because someone put you in a class you didn't ask for. Just because you have good marks doesn't mean it could be a breeze. Say it stresses you out to the point of depression and you should be able to go back to the class you wanted.
