My sister failed in Araling Panlipunan I she transferred in another school.She informed her teacher in A.P. II about it and at the end of the SY, the teacher confirmed us that she passed already in the said subject since she is also the teacher in A.P. I.But in the end the school informed us that my sister still need to take summer class for the said subject which is A.P I since there was no record in the school that she has taken that failed subject.I wonder how this happened because my sister had grades in A.P. II,III & IV.She was also included in the graduating class SY 2004-2005 but advised to have a summer class for A.P. I to be really considered a graduate.Is it really possible and valid?Are we going to really enroll her this summer?Are her grades in A.P. II,III & IV valid?Is their Grading System correct because I believe something is wrong here. This happened in a private school. Please give us more information regarding this matter. Thank you very much.

I'm surprised that she was allowed to enroll in AP II when she failed AP I. This is really the school's fault -- they should not have let her enroll without the prerequisite. Why should the school punish her for their mistake?\n\nAlso, why would this keep her from graduating? Is AP a required class at your school?

I would be upfront with your parents and show them the paper.  Then I would discuss why you didn't do as well as usual.  Did you understand the content?  Do you need to get some extra help from the teacher?  Your parents will appreciate you coming to them, rather than trying to hide it from them.  Also, if half the class failed, it is apparent you were not the only student who had trouble.  I would ask your teacher about going over the work again.

Unless the student is taking a bunch of advance placement courses in high school, the status of social studies is remedial at best. Students will only take it because they need to take it to graduate. I sense that many basic history teachers in the secondary school will probably let many of their students pass without truly covering the material sufficiently.\n\nI know this because I was distraught after taking the required history courses when I was in high school six years ago. I felt I passed the course without learning anything worth remembering. After my freshman year, I took the Advanced Placement courses in history and the other social sciences as a way to challenge myself and also to prepare myself for my college majors, sociology and political science.

i wouldnt be worrying so much about grades, but the content.  if they are missing a lot of key concepts and ideas that are appropriate for that age level, something needs to be done.  im an educator in texas and we have spelling activities every week, cursive is taught in third, and science is all year.  but there is so much more to school than those few things.  from what you have said, it makes me wonder what else is falling through the cracks?  i would contact the school board, the district superintendants, and whoever else you need to get this resolved.  check up on required curriculum for the state and see if this school/class is meeting those.

I found several sites that seem to indicate you can re-take AP exams the following year (if you are still in high school). You might want to check with your school or A.P. teachers to make sure. There may be a higher charge on a retake. I knew a few people in high school who only got a 2 or 3 and retook them to get a high score the next year.

Let your friend know that he got the question wrong, but not the teacher.  Let your friend decide for himself if he wants to say anything or not.  It's not worth losing a friend over.  Besides, it doesn't hurt you or other classmates if he passes, does it?

D is passing if the class is a generic class not associated with your major, if you were majoring in history and got a D in history that would be failing. (or at least that's how it worked in my school)

1600 is no longer the perfect score, im not sure when exactly you are referring to but they change it a little while ago to 2400 that could be a reason, or it could be his grades, i doubt being asian has anything to do with it, becuase if it did you can sue for discrimination

No doubt you failed in the lower classes as well...do your own homework. God, you are the true example of "much ado about nothing", posting useless questions with "urgent" tag !!

Depending on the University if they have a very sophisticated system.  If not then you can probably get away with it.  However they will evaluate your transcript of records if it can be credited to their own.  Off course, they will try to back track and look at your first grades.  Example, if you passed Subject 1, 2 and 3 but you only show Subject 2 and 3, they would wonder where did you take Subject 1?  If not you have to go back again and take these subjects from the very beginning.  Its a risk you have to take.

Probably not, you have to actually do the work and prove that you are beginning to master the language before you will pass the class.  Whether or not your teacher likes you, your grade is based on your test scores, classwork/homework grades, and (in a language class) whether or not you participate.  I'd say you blew it; next time you choose to take a language class, remember that it is just as important as your core classes and it is not necessarily going to be an easy A.

I'd continue the math & science but maybe try the regular class instead of the AP if it not a strong suit. Good luck

its not bad,but it may be a waste. You lose nothing by taking the A.P exam . you dont have to share your scores. The only downfall to not taking the exams is that you might have scored high and got a chance to skip a class in college. If you do take it and dont get a certain score the beauty is you dont  have to share that score!! But please, this is a question for a quidence counselor not here. talk to them for specifics.

While I agree with you remember teachers are on a schedule and have guidelines that they are expected to follow too. The pressure is on them and you.\nThey in general (I know there are some exceptions to the rule) want you to succeed. And they will do whatever they can to help you. But they have someone they need to answer to too.\n\nWho wants someone to fail in life? And besides that if your scores are low what does that say about their teaching?

I agree with your mother.  If your teacher is out to get you there is very little that you can do about it.  Go to the principal and say that you have a personality clash with the teacher and would prefer to be moved to another class.  There are laws that prohibit him from discussing this request with the teacher so from a technical standpoint you should be able to push the request through without the teacher ever knowing how or why it was done.  Then the only issue you will face is whether you are put into a class that has a teacher that is influenced by the first teacher.\n\nTeachers can find flaws when there are not any.  I should know.  I'm a teacher!\n\nYou could also try talking to her about her grading system and see if she can justify the grades.  If not then you definitely have a motive for placement in a different class.

I really don't know, because I sent my childlreln to private schools. But I'll venture a guess:  It might be that it works just like any other program with a certain number of slots. (i.e. first come, first served).  Possibly a waiting list for the ones who cannot be accepted the first year, second year and so on. As for the closure of the schools left behind. That probably wouldn't be a problem seeing that each school only has a certain capacity, therefore the old schools must continue to operate given the number of students who would be forced to stay (or rotate in from another school) because of the choice school's inability to accomodate all students.\n\nAnd, there is a slight possibility of rotation in, even into a school one family does not consdier 'ideal.' Remember "One man's trash is another man's treasure."  (If you don't think so, look at how many people have affairs...)
