The cutoff for dropping was within a week and it’s been 6 weeks into school so far. The progress reports have been sent out yesterday, would it be too late? I have not reached out to my teacher since she has been gone for about 2-3 weeks in a row so far.
I do agree that I should not rely on the teacher, since I’ve experienced teachers who don’t particularly teach. However, considering it’s an ap class, it was quite surprising that the teacher was not helpful whatsoever. We thought that she would AT LEAST review for the test or even give us a study guide or anything that would help us, but even that was not given to us. So, pretty much it’s just all for yourself.
I’ve been asking myself that same question: is it worth staying in and try for a good grade or to drop out? I’m not sure if it’ll say on my transcript that I have an F if I drop out, decreasing my chances of going into a good UC since I’ve given up on trying. However, if I keep going with an F, I don’t know if I’ll manage to get up or not, which looks REALLY bad if I end up with an F on my first semester. Anyways, thank you for your advice! It was quite helpful to me!
