Went to DSPS to get my math squared away before it starts. We have tomorrow and Monday off, so I dont have math until next week which is good.
Anyway, I told them that I CANT pass math without a calculator. They told me that it's up to my teacher if I can use one or not because in Math 10 it is required to MEMORIZE it all.
Riiiiiight. That's great except I have TWO learning disabilities, one of which is SHORT-TERM MEMORY. And they are telling me to MEMORIZE this shit?! I've been trying to for well over 10 years and guess what? It doesnt stick.
Than I was told I could use a multiplication table if all else... fine, but I still think I'll fail the class.
I have to talk to the teacher next Friday about all of this.
THEN I was told that if I cant pass this math class there is a damn good chance I will NEVER transfer and I will NEVER graduate.
Like hell... I will fight like hell against them. I WILL graduate and transfer. I plan to talk to my mentors about this stuff too because one of them is on the school board.
I'm beyond fucking stressed right now and have to head off to Biology soon.
That was another thing... DSPS couldnt understand how I'm so good in Science but not in Math. Science has always been easy for me. Biology, which they are worried about, is fun to me. But I was told I might want to drop it. NO!
I am really good at science. Period.
Arrrrgh.
