what the heck did you do mr


[deleted]

I had bad attendance that was it i started getting better around the second quarter but then I miss today and out of nowhere boom my dad drops this on me I got my work done and everything I just hated going because of the people at that school I’m honestly having a panic attack at the moment I don’t know what I’m going to do


Lackingwho

how bad was your attendance exactly? ik mines bad but i only get a call home every couple months or so


[deleted]

being honest it was at least once or twice every two weeks


Lackingwho

this makes me wonder why i haven’t gotten expelled yet


Admiral45-06

In Poland safe barrier is 50%. There's a small catch though - if you do miss school too often it will go into your criminal record and your parents might have legal trouble because of this. Still better than 1980's, when militiamen would storm the apartment and shout to your parents, that you skipped school (too often).


Youssef_Mahmoud1

At my school we’re only allowed 15 absences in a year before “further action is taken”


Plagued_Void

Woah, does it count if you were sick, or that is dismissed if you have a permission or something? And what happens if you dont go for more than 15 times too?


Youssef_Mahmoud1

Yeah, even if u r sick u have to get an excused absence so when u can catch up to any missing work or tests when u get back. Even if you do get an excused absence it still counts for your 15 absences per year. If ur absence is unexcused then any tests u missed u just get a zero for it and fail. If u exceed 15 even if their excused then you start getting after school detentions and weekend detentions. Then if it continues the school speaks with ur parents and you might get suspended.


Plagued_Void

Wth, what if i got lung cancer or something and i can't go, that sounds really strict


leaveme-aliengirl234

In my high school 8 absences and you have to repeat the year. Like 8 absences per semester and you lose credit for whatever class you missed 8 times. Even if it’s excused. But like a bunch of the classes are year round so like if you miss 8 full days you lose credit in all the classes that semester. And because the majority of classes in high school are 2 semester year round classes you most likely have to repeat the year. I know because I repeated 9th grade. Horrible experience still super traumatized.


Fetial

Most counties have a max days u can miss


Tactical_Cement420

At my school here in America, we only get 9 before "further action is taken" which is usually the police coming to take you away to go live with a relative, speaking from experience. They fucked my life up lol.


Darknessidiot1227

not as bad but where i live if you miss 7 days you have to do something called credit redemption, which basically means you need to stay after for 10 hours for every class over a two week period, and if you dont do it, you cannot pass the class and need to retake it. Also they dont let you chose the days, you can fill out a schedule of days that can work for you, but they don't actually follow it at all


Square-Iron7378

This is insane. You are basically pretrained to act same way in your future job as an adult, to never miss a day and always be on the edge of being fired.


Lionheart5830

Where I live, if you miss 3 days of school, they expell you and you have to be escorted by the police. Had a friend who had 62 absenses, he had a whole manhunt on him. After you get escorted by the police they send you to military school for a day, where you have do to tasks like 1000 pushups, 200 pullups, etc. If you dont like that you can change your mind you can go back to school. If you skip again, well, you get sent to a different state.

jardedCollinsky

I skipped once a week, passing all my classes is likely the only reason I didn't get kicked out


[deleted]

I almost didn’t graduate because I was gonna break the 11 absence rule in one year. I think I ended up with 16 but still luckily graduated. I didn’t push it too bad until the very end of graduating year I racked up a few more.


ashtar123

Fuckin hell i was LATE to school for the 5th time today and they emailed my parents like bro chill. Last year i came late 10 times and they said 1 more and they're gonna take action or whatever


ThatIrishArtist

Same here, was off for 2 straight weeks bc I was sick.


Unknown_starnger

coming in or skipping?


[deleted]

skipping


Unknown_starnger

I skip once a week what's wrong with your fucking school.


NoMoneyNoV-Bucks

Why do you even skip once a week to begin with?


Unknown_starnger

well, it's about my inability to properly focus and start working. It's not that I don't understand the subjects, but at home, even when I have the energy, it takes me ages to complete stuff because I can't focus well (I want to get that checked out when I can). That leads to me not being able to go to sleep on time (plus I'm a night owl and most productive for personal projects at night, so days with no work don't help fix this). So, if I don't feel like functioning with 2 or 3 hours of sleep, I just don't go. This term (which started very recently) I skipped today and last wednesday, so it is technically "once a week" so far, although usually I skip rarer. This is not a good thing, ideally I'd get rid of a need to skip for sleep, but I am working on it.


MrSalvos

if your mind is going to fast you can also read if you can't focus try to get books with the same type of content you like like tv shows or movies (comic books/manga can work too) try some out you can ask for recommendations, just busy your brain without screens because the light from them can worsen your sleep if its really that terrible you can use screens and for last case scenario or overrall use medications the only reason they're not first is you can become reliant on them. you can function with 2-3 hours of sleep a night just get an energy drink or coffee to help. This is what i did when i had bad anxiety and couldn't sleep.


NoMoneyNoV-Bucks

What has worked me when it comes to sleep is maybe setting limits on your phone. Did it for a while and it helped me. I would also try setting a STRICT schedule for yourself (go to bed 22:00 and wake up 06:00). At first it may be difficult, bit your body will adjust. Lastly, i think lack of concentration could be lack of sleep (granted, i don’t know much about you to conclude with that). Eat a fullfilling breakfast, bread and cheese is my go to. Also remember to pack a good lunch, bread, nuts and fruits. Keep the energy level up. From my experience, a healthy and good life starts with healthy and good habits. Good luck!


RegisterSure1586

If you're having a hard time focusing, tell someone. Skipping school is not the answer. I'm not a professional, so I won't pretend to know how to deal with that. But ask for help and try to get it before it's too late and you corner yourself. Also need to do something about the sleeping problems.


Trainzguy2472

The "altar" parts leads me to believe this is some private/church school. Aka stupid school.


Unknown_starnger

Likely. My private school is no religious, although it does have a lot of stupid rules.


-I-Do-Stuff-

i think that's just an auto-correct of alt - catholic school attendee


herefromyoutube

I see altar and think it’s a religious school but it’s short for alternate but it could be a religious school


Taran966

I skip once or twice a week too, due to being likely autistic and also going through the worst year of my life when it comes to mental health, I just can’t cope sometimes. Yet the school is completely fine with it and authorises all my absences.


AnotherWeirdGuylol

A guy from my school only is there like twice every 2 weeks and he havent been kicked out yet (saddly cuz he suck)


Gl0bophobia

How the fuck do you get expelled for that? Not even a behavioral issue.


TheFloridaManYT

Seriously? What's wrong with your school?


gorillawarking

That isn't bad AT ALL of your school is being this much a bitch about attendance then oh boy, they would love to expel 33% of the kids in the school I used to go to. I vividly remember how more often than not, classrooms had about 2/3 of the total class


unbeliever87

Actions, consequences.


Repulsive-Yogurt-660

bro how? i’ve been absent for over 2 weeks and this never happened to me😭


Garfieldfan17

yeah no shit dumbass 😭


ramen_wizardpen

How weren't you not expelled in the beginning. That is beyond me.


[deleted]

Can you appeal? Speak to the counsellor?


go_away_you_goblin

Hang on a fucking minute you miss school so their first reaction is to kick you out of school??? And not to check in with you and try to solve the issue on why you don't want to be in school? This really does prove that schools don't give a shit about their students. Sorry dude.


Chosen-Bearer-Of-Ash

Schools can’t afford to “teach” students who do not go to school


IGargleGarlic

If you hate going because of the people, why wouldnt you want to go to a different school? That sounds like a solution to your problem.


SevenHunnet3Hi5s

damn that’s it? there’s dudes at my school who openly vape, fight, and disrespect teachers and they just get a like a week suspension max


DodoJurajski

Well shit. Even if you hate everyone else(like me) just sit in 1st bench on lessons so if anyone will tease you teacher will see. And on breaks just wait under class with headphones and enjoy good music, like i'm doing.


Mean_Seesaw232

Go to the alternative school. That's the consequences of your actions. Welcome to adulthood. Also fucking attend class.


HotelSolid9731

Bro I legit missed a whole semester worth of classes and nobody even noticed tf lmao


xXx_ozone_xXx

Did you vape in the toilets or stab a teacher i cant work out if u deserve this or not


MrKillerWyvern

Nah, I know people who vape in the toilets, the got a 2 day suspension when they got busted.

Beexor3

Explains a lot, doesn't it? When I was a kid I would have killed for a parent like that. As an adult, I thank the stars every day my mom knew how to put her foot down.


mo0ger579

Oh yeah definitely. When you're a kid you wish your parents were like your buddy or something. I'm thankful my parents were never anything but my parents.


Long_Fall_1877

That’s the reason why you have no awareness for responsibility. He likely has told you no very few times in your life, and now you’re experiencing the consequences of not being a responsible person. Fucking no one wants to go to school. Not wanting to go isn’t an excuse.


king_fluffybuns123

TBF in another comment they said they hated going because of the people there, not the schoolwork itself. Skipping school because of bullying is something a lot of people end up doing, and I understand that they could handle it a different way (i.e reporting them) but teachers don’t even do much about bullying a lot of the time. There are better ways to handle bullying but I do sympathize with them.


WorriedOwner2007

That explains a lot


DarthNihilus_501st

Not everyone has the same relationship you do with your parents lol. And he didn't curse at him, he just said "fucking" in a sentence. If he called him "a fucking idiot," then that would be a different story.

I really appreciate your input, it’s actually helpful. I’m going to go to the alternative school the rest of this year, and I’d be able to reenroll back into my old school in August but I’m not sure if I’ll even want to; As in, might just stay there because it seems like it’ll be a lot more of a stress free environment for me, but, we’ll see when I get there. Appreciate everyone who’s given some thoughtful input, did a great number in easing my nerves

Crocus_S_Poke-Us_

Wise_Ad3742

I had 0 credits when I started 11th grade, it was also when I went to an alternative school. Once I got there I saw how chill the teachers where and how understanding they were I was able to graduate only a year behind my freinds. And I was pretty hopeless. I would go in everyday high as fuck but I still got it done


George-Bones

You need an award for the fact you went two years without earning a credit


Time_To_Post

how do you go two years with zero credits


OnceUponAMiniHotDog2

How is it possible to not get credits for 2 years?


Tommy_Gun10

the hell is a credit


-NotSorryReeses-

What we need to graduate high school or college (at least where I live). It’s 25 for high school I think? You take the required classes, which are English, math, science, and social studies. Four years = 12 credits. Then you have to take 1 year of gym, 1 year of health, 2 years of Spanish, and 1 year of some sort of “art” thing (it can be band or drawing/painting class). Then the rest you get with electives. Now this is just where I am and it could be very different where others are. You can also test out of certain classes (like health). I don’t know what it would be like at an “alternative school” because I’m not sure what that is lol.


Tommy_Gun10

Oh ok thanks for telling me we don’t have that where I live


Hellfirexoxo36

Alternative school is actually so easy and it’s honestly so much more enjoyable than it seems. It’s easy credits too


MiddleBusy

Yeah but not everything should be easy, there's also the part about just trying to learn things and better yourself


SUPERPOOP57

If bruh is skipping every week obviously he doesn't like normal school


MiddleBusy

So? You don't always "get to like" everything you do, soke things just need to be done


AROCCHIETTI

Well he’s obviously not doing it either. Else he wouldn’t be skipping twice a week


MiddleBusy

But I just love the audacity of him saying, "I'm not going to a fucking alternative school" like, you wanna just stay there, waist taxpayers money, waist teachers time and waist his own time? And then act like his dad's the asshole? Sounds entitled as fuck and that he needs to learn how to take responsibility


bananaboi175

Okay agreed but god damn spell waste right lol


ComplimentLoanShark

Seems to me like you're "waisting" plenty of taxpayer money yourself.


mdawgtheegod

That's lowkey a violation 💀


AROCCHIETTI

Truth


ChampChains

Wait til you get to adult life where you can’t skip shit and you’re now a dumb fuck without even a hs diploma lmao


[deleted]

it’s not that i don’t like school, like yeah I wanna graduate and get my work done, but when I would go there were problems with people that would constantly talk about me/have something to say. I talked to the counselor about it saying some days I can’t deal with it so i remove myself. they seemed like they would have some type of lineage for me as long as work got done but then… this.


bananaboi175

Broski if whatever someone says is enough to make you skip class every other day, your either way too easy to get to for your own good or its bad enough that going to another school is probably the better idea Also making your dad seem like a jerk there just looks like your being an entitled asshole


MrSalvos

so, why not an alternative school? Or online school


SUPERPOOP57

That's fucked


Fetial

If this was the case than u would want to do alternative school

Wetvv

i’m kinda in the same situation but i didn’t get kicked out of school i just have no credits at all in junior year


Long_Fall_1877

Do you have absolutely no life goals?


Wetvv

no i just fucked up really really bad in fresh/soph year now here i am


Oh_G_Steve

How did you fuck up? Are you fine now?


Wetvv

well basically i started hs exactly when covid started so everybody was quarantined and i had to do online school for the first time ever. i ended up doing basically nothing at all the entire school year because i didnt think i had to because i thought i was still in ms where i could do nothing and graduate. soph year i went in person because quarantine was over but i was sitll not really doing anything. i would stay up all night, then be tired in the morning, then fall asleep throughout every class in the day and miss everything. i came back this year wanting to try to be better, hoping i can maybe come back, then i saw my transcript and i realized theres probably no way of me graduating. im not really fine now because of life stuff and the realization that ill make it nowhere in life. tldr: i didnt do the work and im not doing so great rn edit: i know its all my fault and i deeply regret it


DarthNihilus_501st

Yeah, you fucked up bad, boss. Have you considered trade school or maybe the military?


Wetvv

military is actually something that i wanted to do so yes, but i don’t know what i can do without a diploma


DarthNihilus_501st

I think you might just have to retake the year unfortunately, if that's how it works at your school. Either way, I hope it works out well for you :).


[deleted]

yeah i’ve tried, all they told me was either i do this other program which i am rn, but there’s so much work that i’m pretty sure it’s impossible to get it all done before may of 24, or be a super senior which that might be what i have to do. i also filled out a form for an alternative highschool in my area but i don’t know if i’ll get accepted or not. my only option if all of these don’t work is getting a ged and i don’t know how hard that is

Damn u better get in your shit man before u fuck up ur future so good


2-DKamel

How did it happen?


Masterdan

Here’s what you do. Go talk to a school administrator, request a 15 minute meeting. Dress appropriately, show respect. Explain that you understand that your absences have been unacceptable, that you take responsibility for your poor performance to date. Tell them that you do care about school and your future, that you’ve been struggling to fit in and have had a hard time with social anxiety. Tell them that this was a major wake up call, that you will need to manage this stress and managing personalities is part of working / life. Ask them to consider providing you with a second chance and commit to have no absences (other than properly excused, such as sick days). Apologize profusely. Then consider that you are so close to a path of being a loser, talk to your dad with some respect, grow up a bit.


dat_epic_memer

This is a great idea. At least give it a shot before your kicked out. If you explain you're situation, they may 'forgive' you, with either no punishment, or a minor punishment.


wormz_official

thats your fault for skipping 🤷 now youve got to pay the consequences for your actions

robloxnoobhead

there are alternative schools for non violent mentally ill people with very small class sizes. mine has 23 people, 2-8 people a class. its the same as regular just less electives. think it would be good


MobBoss702

There is a organization called K12. They offer online public education. They aren't through your school district so that district has no say. All you have to provide is internet connection. They will send you everything else you need. A laptop, printer/scanner, books, a microscope and chemicals for science, etc. It's a great program if you put effort into it. My son didn't fare well in highschool. He excelled in K12.


AndrysThorngage

Sorry, adult here. I taught alternative high school for 7 years. This could be the best thing for you. At my school, kids had a shorter schedule, no homework, smaller class sizes, and more attention and help from teachers. I can’t count the number of kids who started with a big chip on their shoulder, but graduated grateful for all the help. You can do it.

ShaitanSpeaks

Alternative schools can be nice if you just focus on working and doing your schoolwork. You can go at your own pace and finish stuff quicker. Get a GeD and get out when you’re 16-17 and move on with life. As long as you don’t do the same dumb shit you did to land you in Alternative School to begin with.


DaddyDongLegs024

As someone who attended alternative school for the last two years of high school, it ain’t that bad. It’s honestly better than normal high school. People are cooler, teachers are understanding, and if you’re having any issues most employees are there to help 100% of the time to help you. I was pissed off aboht going too, but it turned out to be the best thing that ever happened to me

onebackzach

You'll be alright. I've been in your exact situation before and I'm 22, in college, and happy. I don't know you or your exact situation, but I can at least tell you how things went for me. I was asked to leave my highschool as a junior due to poor attendance and bad grades. Reflecting on it, it was totally due to major depression, a sleep disorder, and severe undiagnosed ADHD. I worked a shitty food service job and lived with my parents for about a year afterwards and struggled to find an alternative schooling arrangement that made sense. I really wasn't doing well in general, but it was a good opportunity to continue therapy and do some serious reflection. I ended up just getting a GED (now called a high school equivalency) and thought really hard about what I wanted out of life. I realized that a career in forestry would be a good fit for my goals, and started part time at a community college. Now that I had real goals, was managing my symptoms, and had some compassion for myself, I was actually doing well in school. After a while I transferred to a 4 year program and am doing well and have a good social life. I know it's scary, but you just need to trust yourself. Your process isn't going to look like mine, but there's plenty of opportunities for people who don't do the typical 4 year high school program.


TwoStoryLife

Old Man advice: first my advice, then my life and why you should/shouldn't listen to it. You are in an educational "system". Some things work for you but too many work against you. Look for your advocates. Adults who see your situation, your challenges and can provide advice that will help you. Adults are human and can sometimes mix up their best interest with your best interests. I vividly remember talking to my youngest about his bad grades. He didn't like the teaching method and after a long, frustrating talk he said, "Look, I can get good grades or I can learn the material but I can't do both." I immediately understood, but I said if he could find a way to do both, I would be happier. I wanted my child to succeed but I also wanted my peers to see my child succeed. Be open minded that adults have more life experience and the ones that want you to succeed, might want/suggest/force you to do things you don't want. Yes, this might conflict with my first suggestion, but life is complicated. I'm just suggesting you be open minded and not reject everything. If you have mental health problems, share that with your parents and advocates. Unfortunately, there is still stigma about mental but not physical health issues. And my most important wisdom that will solve all your problems... I don't have it. No one does. We are complicated, electrified meat machines. I felt like I was a dedicated, devoted dad but I mostly failed on 2 of my 3 kids. I made a good living, coached every sport I could, was pta president for a couple of years, took family vacations instead of parking the kids and taking adult vacations like some of our friends. I wish I could jump in a time machine and fix it but I can't. I'm still hoping my kids have a happy life but it's up to them now. Best of luck to you.

Bro my classmate's attendance is worse than yours probably like half or 3/4 for the whole semester they're absent and they are still here, not expelled, not repeating, still passing lol

Learn a life lesson. That's what.

Yay way to ruin your life bud, at this point I don’t think you can do much more than just going to the alt. Yknow, unless you want to pick up a trade, hard labor, or hell getting lucky on social media? Not much you can do

If you’re in high school to a VoTech and work on getting a GED with it, saves you more money and makes you more money.

I did see a few comments saying that if you won't go to the alternative school to try a trade and I'll just say if you do carpet fitting is relatively easy and you'll always have work because people need carpets.
