NO Relesing at our school?!
I am 14, I want to go to another school.
I've been at my school for all my life, and it is HORRIBLE.
We have barely any sports, no foriegn languages, and rude teachers.
(not to mention the students are horribly mean and cruel)
-true story: A kid who broke his leg, was walking down the hallway, and the other kids started kicking his leg. Then, the other children didnt do a thing about it!-
Anyway, back to the subject.
I REALLY want to change schools, along with a friend of mine, however, the school will not release us. It wont. They said: "You need to try the new program and 3 course schedule."
Which, for 1 is going to mess us up.
And besides that, i DONT want to go to the school. My PARENTS DONT want me going there either...and we've got everything, but the *darn, NOT THE WORD I WANTED TO USE* school wont let me go.
They dont even have a good reason.
That, or they wont tell me.
I WANT TO GO TO ANOTHER SCHOOL.
I have permission from parents, so why wont they let me?! I AM SERIOUS. I WANT TO LEAVE.
I've found another school, I've set things up with them.
Now the school is feeding me lies.
This is bull.

Maybe give some free advice about: School?
Get your parents involved.
Legally speaking, you have to attend A school but not any specific school.
Generally, if you just go yourself, they will ignore you. What you have to understand is they DO have a reason. Several actually.
1) Every public school gets money each day for every student in attendance. Less students = less money.
2) At 14 you write more coherently than half the seniors did at my school. This means you probably get good grades to match. Schools get more federal and state funding the higher their average GPA is.
Which means, they aren't going to want to let you go again because less intelligent students = less money.
Bring your parents in to talk to the principal. If you have been accepted at another school, all you have to do is request a transcript.
If your school refuses to cooperate, go to the district superintendent and the school board.
But I guarantee your parents WILL have to get involved. It is bullshit. Its selfish and self serving on the school's behalf. You are going to have to fight for it, so start fighting.
This isn't the kind of bullshit you should take or accept. And you can ALWAYS go over their heads. The school board should help and you should get what you want pretty quickly through them. If not, the mere ghost of a legal threat is usually enough to inspire compliance
Speaking of legal threats... Look up a local attourneys office in the phone booth. You'll get a secretary, talk to her and describe the situation. If they can't help you, usually they will have another firm they know of who can, or at least someone else. Keep calling lawyers until you find one who handles this kind of law.
If necessary, get online and look up "Education law firms" and call some people there. What you really need is a consultation to find out what your rights are, and if you can find someone local you can find out what regulations you are up against so far as the school is concerned.
Once you find someone who can help, if possible go meet them and you'll have to pay a consultation fee (usually like 100 to 150, talk to your parents about it and bring them) and they can tell you what they know.
Get a business card and keep it on you. When you talk to school board/district superintendent/etc bring the card of your lawyer with you. It makes officials like that very, very nervous when they see someone who feels theyre going to have to sue for something that just should be granted. You'll probably get handed what you want on a silver platter after that.
Also, threats to take the story to the local paper or news station generally work pretty well also. No school wants bad publicity, and in the world of the internet, a local annoyance can become a national news story in a few hours.
These people have jobs to protect, and they'll gladly see you gone and give you what you want before chancing troubles in their cushy government position.
But chances are, a little anger and hell raising by your parents in the principals office would be enough. He doenst want to see you go to the board any more than the board or superintendent wants to see you go to a lawyer or news organization.

Stop going to that school and start going to a different one. What are they going to do, throw you in jail?
Your new school will help you most in this. They get more money from you and the government if you go to school there. Talk to them if you have any problems.

Im sorry, but what kinda fricken school is that?!
get the hell outta there, have your parents fight for it.
or even, just LEAVE.
its your parents decision, and yours, if you want to leave, not your schools! Your parents are paying for YOU to go to that school, their not the ones paying your parents for having you there. Your parents are going to have to get a little agressive with this.
if i were you, id just go to a different school even if your school said no.

your parents are gonna have to fight hard to get a transfer. go to the district school board and ask if you havenmt already. if worst comes to worst my friend got a transfer by having a therapist note as well as a parent note explaining why she needed the transfer. you could always try something like that.
