Yea, well that rule does not apply. We pay for their classes. Since it is state money (our operating money) we can not charge them. That a problem we are trying to address. We have kids drop classes way after cut off and we lose the money on that class.

That's not cool! Are they trying to change that?

Would like it to be a rule that if you get below a C you have to pay. Since you have to have at least a C for the credit to transfer to another college later, and for the dual credit to count for the state it has to be at least a C as well.

That makes more sense. Don't they usually do that in most schools for classes like that?

If you ask our students, I'm sure they'd say we suck too. We get paid to make you miserable and ruin your day. Didn't you know that?

so ive been thinking about getting my teaching degree................. im thinking 2nd or 3rd grade.

Go for it!!! Great thing here is that with 3rd grade and below you can only have 20 students!!!

IMO getting into college was so hyped up. I was in the top 30% of my class, nothing specatuclar...and still got into every school i applied to.

Jr. college doesnt count....lol

Many places will let you substitute teach with an associates... that will let you know real quick if teaching is what you realy want to do. And, you do have to realy want to do it or you will burn out quick.

Very true. Subbing is a good way to make connections in the district as well. Many good subs have jobs waiting for them once they get their credentials.
