So sorry you lost your friend to this awful disease. My aunt, who is very close to me, has been battling ovarian cancer for over 10 years.

You did the right thing. I can just imagine the emotions he had to deal with by having a mixed class. I know it’s a challenging time for both of you, and I am sincerely hoping that things will get better. I seriously am not prepared for my daughter to turn into a tween. Oh please stop the time.

Our classes were mixed in high school, but I don’t remember that huge of a difference. It was normally just a one year thing, like freshman and sophomores, sophomores with juniors, etc. That is kind of odd because you would think that seniors had already completed first year Spanish. I hope the counselor gets back to you and some changes can be made to help him feel more comfortable.

This really needs to be published in Cosmo. I nearly “leaked” when reading it from laughing so hard. Definitely one of my favorite reads today. You are hilarious.

It’s so hard to see your child in pain over something that’s such a big part of their lives. My daughter was miserable in high school, too. Finally, at 16, she decided on her own to set up an appointment with the principal of the local alternative high school, figured out a plan to finish school while she worked, and she ended up graduating less than a year later, at 17. She loved it, worked at her own pace, got lots of help when she needed it. I don’t know whether school districts still have those programs, but it worked miracles for my kid.

I’m glad you contacted the couselor. It is SO wrong to have a 14 year old freshman in the same class as seniors! How is that even allowed? No way… it’s hard enough being in high school, as a freshman, to begin with! Sigh. Sorry. Hugs, and good luck.

I only have one in school, and she’s only in 2nd grade so I have no idea what to say. I know it’s gotta be SO tough though. No mother wants to see their child struggling or unhappy. Hopefully the counselor can help him. *HUGS*

I think it’s ridiculous that high school students are forced to take two years of a foreign language. Most of the students learn very, very little and they struggle with it and the teachers are not very good and it’s a constant worry of pass/fail for those two school years. My son is a senior. He took his two foreign language credits in summer school at a local private school. The school is accredited so the high school had to accept the transcripts. I highly recommend this for students that have a hard time in school and especially for students that are not college bound, like mine.

I could go on and on about the idiocy of the high school graduation requirements, but I won’t. I only wanted to say I’m sorry he’s struggling and offer a suggestion and how to get his foreign language credits without having to spend a total of 18 months in a class room being tortured.
