@ucbalumnus I can’t take ANY of the courses that count for quantitative reasoning, without first passing Algebra II. I cannot pass that class. I have attempted and failed (hard) 3 separate times, and that was with tutoring, books, dvd’s, etc. I could do math for liberal arts or something, and I am confident I would be able to pass. However, I cannot GET to those classes until I finish Algebra II.
I met with my high school registrar today to pick up my 504 plan which was on record for my ADHD and Anxiety, and then with my current school’s disability center, where they told me the only way to get assessed for math learning disabilities is by taking a class (which is next available during summer) and the class will assess me for and place me in “math support class”, which is basically a concurrent class with a math course (Algebra II). In other words, ABSOLUTELY ZERO help there, because that class will only bog down my schedule and further prevent me from transferring, and there is still no way to get around this one stupid class which I have ALREADY failed 3 times (even with every assistance I could have possibly had). So, I still have to take it until I pass it; there’s no way to get around that, diagnosed disability or not. Isn’t that the DEFINITION of “insanity”???
It’s just frustrating that my school is going to just make me take the same prerequisite class over and over until I pass. It really is like forcing someone in a wheelchair to run the mile until they make a decent time. Like…??? How does this make sense? This is going to kill my GPA and my chances for transfer to a good university; it’s a shame that there are no options. I’m a very intelligent person! It’s beyond frustrating.
