Summer school
I "volunteered" to take an accelerated course over the summer at my high school. I'm in the 9th grade (going to 10th this year) and the course I decided to take is Algebra 2. But now, I find that it is way too fast and hard for me. And we have to learn it in a period of 20 days. The WHOLE textbook. I'm basically failing every quiz and test that we get, with an exception to homework, which I get good grades on, since we have TIME to do it at home. Although it is an optional course, after a certain amount of time, they actually keep your GPA the way it is and give you credit even if you don't want it. So now I'm stuck. The tests and quizes are bringing me down. And what we JUST started studying; I do not get at ALL. Should I drop out as soon as possible and just take it with the rest of my peers next year? But...the problem is that I wouldn't know whether I would do better like in a week...=/ My dad is also putting way too much pressure on me about this, not realizing that I'm doing as much as I can, and that much isn't enough.
Also...we get way too much homework. If after a certain number of hours, I can't do anymore, should I force myself to do it? Is it recommended? Thanks. :)
Also, I should add that the time for the GPA to count hasn't come yet.

Ok that sounds ridiculous. I'm in summer school right now taking algebra 2 because i failed it by like 2 points this past year and it goes fast because you cover like a weeks worth of work in only one day. but if it's that hard that you can't keep up then i do think that you should drop out and enjoy your summer and take it during the school year. summer school is supposed take the time to get you to understand so if you're not and your teacher isn't teaching it good enough then you're wasting your time. i suggest getting out asap so that it doesn't hurt your GPA and take it during the year! good luck!
