Failing chem. What will happen?
Hi, senior in high school. I know people use this excuse all the time but I promise you, my teacher is the worst and he is the reason I am failing chemistry. He can't teach to save his life. I have a 33% partially due to his terrible teaching and my lab partner failed every lab we ever did. The quarter is over on the 27 of this month. I am leaving for Europe on the 29 and he told me to get three chapters ahead so I won't be behind when I get back. I don't know how I can get 3 chapters ahead, when I'm failing what we are on now. So, my question is, I got accepted into my dream college, if I passed chemistry the first and second quarter, fail the third and pass the fourth, will I have to retake the course over the summer because I won't have enough credits? Will I not be able to go to college? I'm having a mini panic attack about this, I don't know what to do!

Maybe give some free advice about: School?
Well the first move should definitely be to go to the principal or a counselor for this. If a majority of your class is failing and this is a school wide problem, they will become your allies in a situation like this. The next one would be to talk to your parents. If you make reasonably decent (As or Bs) in your other classes except for this one, having them voice their concerns to your school will only help your case. I know this is also a part you probably don't want to hear, but you'll most likely be expected to put forth even more effort than usual just to prove that it is indeed not your own fault. I've run into this problem a few times before and trust me, you run into it even more in college. Don't panic too much, just seek some help on getting it all sorted out. Good luck!

The best thing to do is to have a talk with your chemistry teacher and your school counselor. Together, y'all can discuss the issue with your grades and how it might affect college because this will vary depending on the school you're at. I'm sure if it will have that much of an impact that you and your teacher could work out some sort of extra credit to help raise your grade. I hope this helped and good luck with everything :)
