i hate school!!!
15/f
first off, i go to one of the top 50 schools in the country, so basically its EXTREMLY hard and you have to be a major nerd and study 24/7 to be even in the top 50%. this is a public school, mind you.
i hate it. ive always hated it. im a sophmore and this is my second year here and i think im gonna scream if i have to stay at this school any longer. i have alot of learning problems and my school doesnt accomidate them whatsoever, they only accomidate smart people.
so ive been talking to me mom about switching to a private school. BUT THERE SO EXPENSIVE!
and my friend who is in the same position as me is wanting to do the same thing as me, shes already been accepted to a school.
should i take the plung? should i leave my school, all my friends?
i know it will help me, and i will get better grades, but idk. but i hate me school right now so much! so i need to!
does anyone know any good Texas private schools?
is it weird to switch in he middle of the year?
thanks in advance.

Want to answer more questions in the Work & School category?
Maybe give some free advice about: School?
I am a great deal older than most of the advisers on this site, so my advice will be somewhat different from what you have received and may continue to receive from others.
Last question first; you need to whatever is required to get the education you need to make your way in today’s world. If that means changing schools in the middle of the year, then that is what has to be done. The thing is you cannot do it alone. You need your parents support and help to do so. The school system will not change your school just because you want too. They may change some of your classes if your class advisor thinks it is the correct thing to do.
If as you say your school system is not doing enough to accommodate your learning problems, then they are wrong. Former President Bush had Congress pass a Bill Titled “The no Child Left behind Initiative”. I am not totally familiar this Bill, what I do know that in this Bill School systems are required to see to it that all students are capable of passing standardized tests. If your learning problems prohibit you from passing these tests then the school system must take proactive measures to help you pass these tests.
This is where your parents come in, as you cannot take on the school system yourself. Your parents may even have to find an advocate to assist them. What you can do is go on line a research the Initiative and find out just what options are available and present them to your parents.
You did not say what your learning problems are or what the school system is doing to help you. It is possible they are doing everything they can do and are required to do. So I would be remiss if I did not ask you this question. Have you done everything you can to get better grades? Are you doing what is asked of you to overcome your learning problems? Are you putting in enough study time?
If the answer to any of my questions is no; then changing schools will not fix your problem.

Unfortunalty i dont know any good private schools in texas but switching in the middle of the year because you arent being helped is a good reason to switch because if your school is not helping you succeed then you shouldnt be there and rite now its not about your friends its about you because you need to get good grades and graduate later on and plus you will make new friends and you can still hang out with your old friends on weekends and stuff so i think you should switch so you can get a better education and as for good private schools in texas ask your school for a list of all the private schools in your area and even public schools because not all public schools are the same most will help you do good but if you dont want to ask your school go online and do some research im sure you will find something. Good luck :)
