If she is singling you out, and NOBODY else is being made to do it, then you have a valid complaint to make to the principal.

However, that said, it seems as if you are just now starting to worry about failing grade 12. There were dozens of other tests way before now - you're in the final semester of school already! Did you not ask questions in class - after class - share notes? Get study buddies? I ask not to be sarcastic, but out of concern. If you did all those things, then something is not right, and your parents should have gone to the school about how their daughter is not being properly "reached". One year of getting behind (9th grade) snowballs REALLY fast - as you can see by being in 12th. I have a son who was treated VERY badly by several teachers from 9th til 11th. At the end of the 11th grade we threatened to sue the school district. Amazing how his grades went from Ds to almost staright As... and its not that they are giving away As to keep us happy... he's honestly happy in school this year for the first time ever --- all because the teachers now are being held accountable that he's understanding the informaton! He now understands what one earth is going on in class. A bit late for you, but maybe your parents can still step in and help. Get extra credit projects (like you need more work, but you get the ides)

And yes, real life stinks where there's days I don't get the luxury of computer time or TV to goof off for even ten minutes. Right now, instead of goofing off for an hour, I'd be studying like mad... because if you don't, you'll be doing this all over again next year. If you do study and forgo your hour of fun NOW, then next year you can have more time to yourself because you'll be out of highschool and onto something else.

Hope I helped you. I really don't want to make you feel bad -- just offering a mother's perspective. Good luck in moving your english test. If you can't -- make sure your mom steps in! Because the reason you're missing the test is NOT because you want to blow off the test, but because you have another school function to go to. If mom doesn't step in, go to the principal IMMEDIATELY and explain your plight.
