Don't feel bad. I am in the same boat....and it isn't sinking. I got a D in pre-algebra, so I could never go on to algebra. Ironically, my primary job requires lots of math, but you re-learn what applies.

Why were you out of school for three months?

we moved to Virginia and I was waiting to start a home school program over the net....then i had to take a pre test..then i had to wait for the company to create a prgram for me.

I hate school so much. If i didnt want to go to MMI or go anywere importnant w/ my life i would drop out. Guess I just gota try and stick it out.
