How deep in am in the danger of not graduating this year?
I live in the state of New York, and I'm a senior this year, and I'm failing my Algebra 2 & Trig course. In the past for math I've taken Integrated Algebra and passed, Geometry and passed, and Intermediate Algebra which is not a Regents course, but I had to take it because I had done pretty badly in Geometry the previous year, but I passed it. Then in A2&T, I pretty much just turned into literally the worst student ever. I've just gotten extremely apathetic toward this class and decided that because I hated it and doubted I would pass the Regents Exam, I just wasn't going to try at all. At all. There have been weeks where I skipped this class every day, and even now I still skip it at least twice a week usually. I'm passing every other class with at least a B, if not an A, but Trig, man....
So anyway, I know there's no way I'll get an Advanced Regents Diploma, but I don't really care about that because I'm already accepted into college, and not even our Salutatorian and Valedictorian have an Advanced Regents, so whatever. But is there a chance I might not even graduate at all? I mean, I do have three math credits, two of which are Regents credits, which I think that fulfills the requirement for a simple Regents Diploma math-credit wise, but is the fact that I'm failing a class that's not an elective enough that they could keep me back?
I know Yahoo! Answers isn't really the place I should be asking this question, so tomorrow I'm gonna try to see my counselor and see what she says about this. I guess I'm kinda just looking for some general educated opinions on what I might expect... Thanks!
Oh, I'm not going to need this class for college. I took a test from the college I'm going to be attending (hopefully...) next fall and my math skills are good enough that I won't actually need to take any math courses whatsoever at all in college, not even remedial. So literally my only problem right now is just if they'll let me graduate. I won't have any issues with it once I'm in college next semester.
Well I visited my counselor and it looks like I'm good! My previous three math credits have my back, so yay for past-me giving enough sh*ts about math to get me through high school. Thank you to everyone for all the answers, though! :)
@ Erica: So *did* she end up graduating, by the way? :p
@ Nick: I'm so glad someone appreciated my awkwardly worded sentence!
