I want to drop out.

[Crispy_]

I currently go to Geneva High School.


(From Wikipedia because I have no camera.)

I want to drop out because I have a problem with a couple teachers.

My science teacher (9^th grade living environment, now (10^th grade) earth science) gives an excessive amount of work. I had a huge binder that I use for every class, now this is the first time where I need a second binder just to hold a class. All of my other classes' work combined cannot even be compared to the wholly king of all binders, the Earth Science binder.

My counselor just insults me. He does not help me in any way, I've tried telling other people about this but they ignored me like I was some kind of a feeble mind who is just imagining all this crap.

Other teachers just teach things too fast or slow. For example, in Earth Science (yeah again) we were told that there are 15 hours of daylight in summer, 9 hours in winter, and 12 hours in fall and spring. Now, my teacher has us put these numbers in a chart just about every day. We get the point already! But sometimes teachers could go way too fast, like flashing a paragraph in front of you and expecting you to know everything about it the next day. Also, not to mention, some teachers just loving lie, just loving LIE about facts, and teach you false things.


I want to drop out so I could learn at my own pace and in my own time, and hell, maybe make it interesting for me. In fact, I already do this. My Earth Science teacher admits that I know a lot more about outer space then she does. My Learning Center/Study Hall teachers complement my highly organized binders.

I admit, I may have over-exaggerated on some information but the point is that public school is just not for me and I want to be homeschooled/learn on my own. My parents even support me but they cant homeschool me, and at my age (15) I can't even drop out, I'm forced to go there!

I just wanted to vent my anger and frustration. Discuss school and dropping out I guess.


TL:DR
My school has problems/I don't like it and I want to drop out. Discuss school and dropping out I guess.

I'm not sure how it works, but if you think online school could be an alternative you could do some research on it.

Go to a charter school or whatever they're called.

I go to Mirus and I'm damn happy.

Guess it doesn't help that the US's education system sucks balls.

On a more related note, I would advise you wait at least half a year before thinking about dropping out seriously. These kinds of decisions will result in very severe life-long consequences.

That's just how school is. Try going to another school or doing online schooling.

online schooling.

Ugh. That sounds horrible.

Just don't drop out, it will ruin your future.
Not to say it would be a 100% chance but its a big chance you wont be able to get a job without a degree or anything

I though you could drop out if your 16 with your parents approval, just wait a little bit.
(I'm also not sure if that's every state or just mine.)

The reason we hate school is because the teachers.

I really had a similar problem like you where I had a binder for all my classes. I had to get a new one just so I can fit all my math work into it. We have been given so much work to do. Everyday. Homework everyday.

I also have boring ass teachers who can't teach for jack. They take their job too seriously and ruin it for us. I can't learn when I'm bored.

forget school. All teachers need to be loving fired and only hire the ones that are actually good at teaching.

This.

Have you talked to your parents about this?
