Schedule Problems

[CefyJr]

High school councelors are basically the most useless beings on the face of the earth. I am now stuck with a parent-teacher conference with the principal just because of a friggin' schedule change because they won't let me sit down and explain myself.

You see, in our school, there is basically 1 excellent teacher, Mr. Gossman. He is really just this genius that retired a while ago and has complete financial freedom, and is now teaching just for the hell of it. He is known throughout the school as THE math guy. I had him this year, but I now have another teacher who is known throughout the school for being a dumb teacher who gives out busy work.

So, basically, my high school plans have revolved around Gossman, but I now have to fight to get back into his class. I even checked schedule issues, and they are not a problem at all! I would be able to keep ALL the same classes but just at different periods if I were to switch to him. It couldn't be simpler. But they have to make it hard!

Any of you guys have situations like that, this year? Also, what should I tell the principal, because the lady at the front desk said that I need a VERY good explanation, or she will deny it.

Trust me, I tried to give him a chance. But, it's not even just him. His class is full of loud, stupid people that shouldn't even be in the class. And he just quietly says "Be quiet", but they don't shut up. He then continues on when you can hardly hear him over the noise of the class. And when he was trying to teach how to do something, he just wrote things on the board and said, "Do that." Literally.

He's really just a completely sucky teacher.

What's really so bad about that? My 9th grade History teacher was the exact same. Everyone got out of the class with A's or a B+, and we still learned everything that we needed to learn.

Just think. There's hundreds of kids trying to do the same thing right now. You complaining about not getting the teacher you want is the last thing they need. Just go with the teacher you're assigned.

It's not about that.
everyone knows no one wants to be at school, so why not make it as enjoyable as possible?

... How?

I sincerely doubt that I can pull that off with a sucky teacher in an AP Calculus AB class where I also have to take an AP test.

If I ever have a bad teacher, I feel like I basically just wasted a year and didn't learn anything.

Not to mention, I really need a good teacher this year or I'm going to have to pay thousands of dollars for math classes in college if I fail the AP test (I will undoubtedly fail i stick with this teacher.)

Seriously, this is basically the only thing that my school's counselors have to do all year. The rest of the year, they basically do nothing. Besides it's their job. Obviously they are going to have to do some schedule changes. Why on earth would they sign up for the job if they weren't willing to do it?

Besides, a few kids actually want to get OUT of Mr. Gossman's class, because he's too hard for them. They want to get switched to the class I'm currently in because it's a lot simpler.

Certain periods are honors classes, so It wouldn't work out all that great.

[gibleto]

Just explain your reasons. Duh.

No, compared schedules with my other friends, and the precise same classes I have right now are also in different periods. I know when all of my teacher's AP classes are and I devised a way to keep the same classes I have, but at different times. It works perfectly.

There's usually only 1 or 2 Honors classes, but I highly doubt a student wanted a certain teacher is thier top priority.
