Dear, I don't think you're meddling...and thank you so so so so much for being on my side...
*MAJOR HUGS AND HUGS AND HUGS*
Unfortunately, my mom has already actually talked to Mr. F, the principal, and that's how I got into Ms. L's class--they weren't even going to let me do that much at first. It was basically, "Get the hell out of AP, and then we'll figure something out." It was my mom talking to him that convinced them to let me take both at once--and even that isn't my idea of the ideal situation, but if I try to suggest anything better, like the independent study that Mr. G offered to do with me, they might just get fed up and take away what I already have right now.
What I find quite frustrating is that despite the fact that I was perfectly capable of handling this situation--despite the times when I got upset, like this afternoon, and you know I would not give Ms. L the satisfaction of seeing me like that...that's why I dropped the matter this afternoon, because I wanted to maintain my composure, and I knew that she would only push me more--despite the fact that I took the initiative to go to my guidance councellor (who is inept) and a private talk with Mrs. C (who is on about some mysterious and yet unidentified "materials" by me which she deems unworthy) and a chat with Mr. F--all of these, several times over--despite the fact that I was polite, and reasonable, composed, and responible---despite all that, they won't buy into anything until my mom tells it to them...and she simply restated what I had been telling them all along.
You'd think they'd listen to, respect, and try to accomodate a student who displays courtesy, maturity, and responsibility. Apparently, anyone under the age of 30 just isn't worth their mental energy. Ironic, that, considering they're high school teachers and admins.
I just wanna say that it means a lot more to me than I could possibly phrase that you felt that strongly over this, even though you're not directly involved. Thank you, for being there for me. I was forgetting why I deserved to be in that class, because even for me (and I consider myself a confident person) it's hard to keep going with every other teacher telling me I'm not worth it. You made me remember. It means a lot.
