I recently started high school and have been an honors student throughout middle school. All of a sudden I have a second quarter grade of having failed (E) four classes and then then two Bs and a C. I suffered from an extremely cloudy head all semester and repeatedly fell asleep in many classes. Unfortunately this is not a medical problem but is more likely then not an air quality one since the moment I moved back upstairs the cloudy head is gone. Sadly, the grades remain and after finding out that it is physically not possible to retake a year while still being at school I am looking for solutions. Is it possible to retake courses and have them replace the old ones through homeschool? Is there anything at all that I can do? My parents are both extremely angry at me because the problem was a lot of schoolwork slipped off my radar, in part to the cloudy head and in part due to a mild depression I was suffering from, thus causing the bad grades. They are now dropping my course load and putting me in remedial classes the whole nine yards, which is infuriating because I am plenty intelligent enough for the hard classes and while I could have sought more help from my teachers or parents, the poor grades are not because I didn’t care.
To sum it all up:
- Is it possible to retake a year through homeschooling (i.e. retake all the classes and start it all over)
- Is it still possible (if in the event homeschooling is not possible) to even get into college (ideally a good one) with the grades I have if I show that I am a good student that gets high grades the four remaining years, get a good SAT score and write in my essay about the challenges faced, lessons learned, yada yada yada?
One more thing, this is my first post so if I am doing it totally wrong (like posting it in the wrong place or something) I apologize in advance
