Where I’m from, only Grade 12 marks count towards acceptance into postsecondary. You would have to research what colleges you’re interested in to see. Talk with a trusted teacher or guidance counsellor at your school to see what they think, as they can help you with more specifics of your situation. Keep working hard!

I don’t know if you are the right person to answer this, but it does have to do with school. Last year I did terribly in my classes. I have anxiety and ADD, and wasn’t on medicine and refused help. I have both now, and I am doing better. I understand subjects, but I couldn’t concentrate on school at all. I barely passed. If I got straight A’s for the next three years, could I still get into a decent college? Could I explain myself to them to try and figure something out?

What’s your opinion on students missing school for mental health issues?
My opinion would differ for each individual student. I would always want each student to be healthy and be receiving care. If that turns into missing school, so be it. I will do my best to work with the student to help them succeed, but sometimes working to improve their mental health is more important at the time than earning a high school credit.

Hi! I’m about to enter the teaching world, and I’ll be teaching the same subjects as you do too- history & english! Do you have any advice for new teachers like me? (:
Hello! I have had quite a few questions asking me for advice, so here is a general response with some previous answers I have given.
Good luck!

I’m a first year teacher and I love teaching and all but my only problem is that sometimes the students don’t take me seriously because I look their age (I teach middle schoolers). How can I get students to take me seriously?
This would have to be for your own reflection and actions. If you display confidence and authority, they should take you seriously. I started teaching at 22 and felt similarly, but students will respect you if you show them respect and act in your authoritative role as a teacher.
Take some time for yourself to reflect on this. Good luck!

I know you teach high school, but I have a question regarding an elementary-schooler. I know a second-grader who’s convinced that he’s the smartest in his class (“maybe even the grade!”) and while he really is very smart, I’m not sure that it’s good for him to look down on the other kids the way he does. Any advice on how to curb his ego without being mean? Or might he just outgrow it?
Ummm, I have no idea. I agree that this way of thinking is not good for him, but I wouldn’t know how to talk with him about it. You could explain how other people feel, or explain a hypothetical situation if someone was treating him that way and how he would feel. I am not experienced enough with elementary to know, as I don’t know how students would react to my speaking with them.
