<p>so, i went in to guidance today to switch up my sched for next year.
heres what i currently have:</p>
<p>First Semester:
Music
Biology
Chemistry
Advanced Functions</p>
<p>Second Semester:
International Business
English
Calculus and Vectors
Physics</p>
<p>In Canada, universities take your average from your top 6 university courses (all of mine are university courses), they take it after your second semester mindterms.
So, I was thinking I can switch Chem and English (they’re interchangeable) because I’m weaker in chem, and I know my mark is going down by exams, so if I have it second semester i can get my mark high for midterms. i also want to drop business for a spare</p>
<p>so i walk in, tell him what i want to do, and he says no. i plead to him that il will help my average and he still says no. so i get up and walk out. as im heading out, i stopp, and thought about telling him to give me the spare, then i just say “whatever” and walk out.
so he yells at me to come back, and screams at me “if youre going to leave here with an attitude like that, then you might as well never come back again!” so i say"calm down, i was going to ask you something, then i changed my mind"</p>
<p>what should i do? im sure that if i dont change chem to second semester it will lowere my chances into getting into mcgill.</p>
<p>First, he has no right to scream at you. My ability to control my temper is near non-existent, the fact that you remained so calm–astonishing. If you honestly think this will affect your chances into what college you’ll get into, and on a broader scale, affect your future, then you may need to go over his head to his superior. </p>
<p>There’s always someone higher up, it’s a matter of finding out who that person is. However, there’s the unfortunate problem of certain people not taking anyone under the age of 30 seriously. In my experience, getting the parent involved usually solves the problem, at least at my high school it did. The last thing they usually want to deal with is a ****ed off parent.</p>
<p>I feel like you’re leaving something out. Why would he be angry at you for wanting to switch classes? Why would this person be hired as a guidance counselor in the first place?</p>
<p>■■■■■ eat his family… sounds like a good idea.</p>
<p>oh, and im not leaving anything out, he didnt want to switch my courses because those were the courses given to me and i “technically” didnt have any conflicts, so he didnt feel like doing it i guess? thats what im so mad about, hes supposed to GUIDE me, hence the position GUIDance counsellor.</p>
<p>and im going to have mom call head office :)</p>
