Hello,
So basically during my junior year I flopped and have to retake the regular US History class over the summer, because my teacher said I cheated and was mad that I denied it (even though the truth is a little more in the gray area). Basically my counselor/admin is giving me another chance and says that he will not write about any such academic violation in his letter, and is suggesting that I say something along the lines of “miscommunication with teacher” when explaining the R on my transcript.
That is really good news for me, but I was wondering if a phrase as short as “miscommunication” would be sufficient information to explain the retake of a REGULAR class, especially when my other grades don’t match up to what happened. I’m wondering what exactly could I put for that line to not hurt my chances but also not show dishonesty? Any thoughts?
