PostPosted: Sun Dec 09, 2007 4:02 pm    Post subject: college Reply with quote

those who have read my blog will know how i rant on and on about the situation at my 6th form currently.

my maths teacher has been "reconsidering" whether to put me in for the exam in january or not and for various reasons i feel that the outcome of her decision is unlikely to be in my best interests.

anyone that knows about exams and legal stuff:

surely i must have control about whether i enter an exam or not?

how do i find out if ive been entered or not?

how do i enter myself if the college refuse to let me take it? where wud i take it? any idea of cost?

whats the entry deadline for A2 modules to be taken in jan?

also, she has recently kicked me out of maths lessons for the fact that ive been doing nothing. nothing being sitting silently at a desk with my head buried in my hands. at the same time there is a lad that does EXACTLY the same thing and two girls that chat and disturb the lesson constantly so the teacher spends half the time telling them to shut up! neither of these people have been removed from classes and as far as i know they havent been put on report either but the girls have been repeatedly threatened with being kicked out since the beggining of the year.

i was given no warning of being chucked out of class and i thought my teacher was simpathetic towards my depression as she wud frequently say things like "do as much as you can manage" and express her concern over my emotional wellfare but suddenly shes turned nasty and been accusing me of being rude and aggressive while she has been incredibly rude towards me.

so basicly ive been given no warnings of being chucked out and not been put on report which is what ive heard from friends is what the college has to do before kicking someone out of a subject class.

i just wanna know where do i stand?

this is discrimination, right?

ive got strong suspicions my tutor has leaked my trans status as she has told the head about there being a FtM trans person in the college without mentioning my name (she says) but c'mon everyone knows that im the only "girl" who dresses fully in blokes clothes and looks/talks/behaves etc like a bloke.

are they likely to chuck me out altogether? can they do that? what can i do to stop them?

i have told them about the situation with my depression and i have been taking anti-deps for it. i dont know if this makes any difference.

Best i can suggest is have a word with your parents they may be able to see the headmaster or even one of the school governers, It may be worth while using a minature tape recorder to collect some evidence, Home education is permissable and you can be put into any exam IF your parents pay if school won't put you in. Thats how i understand it .Best of luck Wink

in my 6th form you could go to registry to be put into exams, and if you were doing the course it was free unless you were taking an extra module above the number normally required.

my maths teacher was really difficult with me for my A2, but i reported her to my tutor and he sorted her out. if your tutor is of no use, try your head/principal.

unfortunatly i don't know the deadline for exam entry.
