No you have to get into politics and give George Bush all of the oil. You can just join the Iraqi military and take your chances over there. It's your country.

First tell her you are moving to Iraq to meet an internet lover named Bin.  Then say you were just kidding, and tell her about your grades.  Parents can handle a lot, they stuck with you through your puberty, they can handle it.

its like anywhere else, its probably just as tough as the US, if your really good, then you might have a chance, you don't get into the big stuff straight away, you'll will have to start at the bottom,  and work your way up to the good stuff.

If you can't fingure this out for yourself then all the schooling in the world won't do you a bit of good.

only if you know you can't pass it. Then you better study to find out what the best stuff is to take so you can pass.

i wouldnt say so...my lil sister went through grades 9 and 10 with barely passing marks.  My parents tried everything to get her to try harder, to get better marks.  Cash, punishment, vacations, you name it.  The teachers at her school finally told her to just try doing government schooling at home (called Distance Learning).  She is now doing much better, she can work at her own pace, and if she really needs help, she can go into the office and get it.  \n\nAgain, it could not be your child, it could be there environment.  And if you child really is trying, its not fair to the kid to punish them for their lack of abilities.

Let's see, you're missing out on a good education, the school could consider you truant and bust both you & your parents.\n\nOh, here's one a friend of mine said the other day in reference to her daughter.....poor or no education means terrible job which means living with her parents for the rest of her life.

I very much doubt it, sorry.  If I were you, if you want to go to school, focus on school, not broken dreams.

Depends on the Service...\n\nMarine Corps... forget it, you are in Iraq/Afganistan or otherwise occupied, no time for school.\n\nNavy... not gonna happen, same reasons as above.\n\nArmy... yea right, same reasons as above.\n\nCoast Guard... possibly, youd have to do part time schooling though.\n\nAir Force... pretty easy, depending on your job though. If you have ANY tech school job that takes longer than 6 months to train you will almost already have your associates degree... After 4 years, even with a deployment or two, it is possible to take night school/weekend classes and get your bachelors degree, but it would take you a while... the air force is the ONLY service (In my experience) that actully encourages higher education for their troops.\n\nYour best bet of course is just to make sure you get your GI bill, do your 4 years then get out... if your goal is school that is the best thing to do.

I was in Iraq during Operation Desert Storm.  It was bleak.  After the war ended, many, many, many families were left homeless.  We had hundreds of Iraqi soldiers surrendering to us every day, just to get some food.  We helped many Iraqi families flee from Iraq into Saudi Arabia.  The skies black from all of the oil fields burning in neighboring Kuwait.  I lost a good friend there.

well brother, joining the army is a big deal. i myself joined the military but decided to go the navy route because they focus mostly on school, a career, and family. i met several army and marine hopefuls at MEPS. these kids (that's right KIDS) thought they were invincible. they couldn't wait to serve their country and blow sh*t up! has the thought of going to iraq crossed my mind, totally. but i have faith i will see the other end and take what i have learned from my future experience. if you have researched enough about that branch and you're confident that is your path, go for it.

This question is not easy to answer. Anyways, I think it depends on the individual (student), if you are highly motivated and determine to reach your goal(s) then I believe it's possible for you to achieve whatever your goal might be. I personally don't think that if you're from a broken family you're academic performance will worsen. I know friends from broken homes who are performing very well academically. Nonetheless, I also know that there are many negative effects of broken homes on young people.

You will make it if you just don't give up.  However, is it possible to adjust your work schedule so you can study more?  Or maybe even get a different job?  For example, a security guard, especially on night duty, has lots of time when he can study if he is simply alert to any problems.  He only needs to make rounds once in awhile.  Or perhaps attendant for a patient who is asleep some of the time.  Or a driver who can read a textbook while the passenger is engaged in business.  There are many such jobs, and it might be worth your while to investigate them.  Then, too, you may benefit from a close look at your study habits.  Are you making the best use of the time you have?  And your course selection: did you fail one or more of those three classes because you had chosen a course that was really over your head?\n\nTalk to your school counselor, and see if there are ways you can ease the burden.  But don't give up.  Even if you only take one course a semester, you'll get there eventually.
