urgh, i dont know what the fuck to do, my school are such pricks. Im taking A Level maths, and im failing like no ones business, im getting straight U's and have got as low as 0 on tests....

My schools attitude is take 4 Alevels or leave.... last year and EVERY other year before, classes have been allowed to drop one of their a-levels and stick with the AS in whatever they drop....

but now its do 4 or leave? and i really am considering leaving...

any advice?

Unfortunately that is a decision you will have to make yourself..

I dont know exactly how the school is but if you dont think that school will be good enough to teach you in a decent way and you are not happy there then i think you should consider leaving..

This is all i can help..
Sorry

It sounds like you should obtain some tutoring.  You've obviously fallen behind.  Math, in particular, is a subject that builds on previous material.  Your problems now are most likely due to not paying enough attention last year, or possibly even further back.

Think about it this way -- plenty of other people can do it.  Unless you believe yourself to be less smart than they are and that's fine with you, you can do it too.  It may take you spending your free time reviewing what you were supposed to have learned before.  It may take tutoring.  Whatever it takes, it certainly can be done.

i absolutely hate maths, it is incredibly boring, now i have to more than double the amount of time a week i have to spend doing it because i can't do it.

the people who are now in year 13 were allowed to drop a subject, and i was planning on dropping maths. but now i can't, and now its either do it or leave. it wouldn't be so bad if it was a subject i wanted to do well in. the only reason i picked it was because we had to choose 4 and it was the best of what was there... so i didnt really want to do it in the first place >.<

To be honest, I've been thinking about quiting my 6th Form too. Luckily I don't have it as bad as you, and only have to do 3 A Levels in the 2nd year.

If you really aren't happy, then try and see if you can start a course at college or something. If not, it's best to talk to your teacher, to try and get some help with things. Or just stick it out.

i dont want to give up the other a levels especially after the amount of work ive put into them, im gonna have to just goto this crap everyday afterschool and faill still, WASTING MORE TIME >.<

i dont really think its one of those things that you should get other people to decide for you, it all depends on what you're doing, whether you like doing it, and what you want to do instead/after you leave....etc good luck with your desision though x

Have you tried talking to your maths teacher about this and possibly principal and people like that to get their opinion of what is you best option.  I think their advice would be a very good thing to get because they know your situation better than us and they also know (and possible be able to change) the school policy.  Furthermore, if you are having this trouble then it might be nice for future students if you stand up and tell them your reasoning behind not liking it so as other people don't get put into your situation.

Don't do it man, i got got kicked out of college. I didn't really care then but now i deeply regret it!

yeah think of the qualifications you could get when/if you graduate.
