Question

Brainiest To Best Answer: Are Guidance Counselors allowed to lie or give false information about a class and force a math-genius to take an intensive math class? I took Algebra I Honors, Geometry Honors, and Algebra II Honors and scored in the 99th percentile on their EOCs and aced the classes. For my 10th grade year, my Guidance Counselor claimed that for my blank-period, I should take "Advanced Math Topics" because I would get 2 math credits that year (Pre-Calculus Honors was the other class I was taking). The Guidance Counselor did not mention it being an intensive class and this class was only for those who fail their math classes, exams, or other national math-portion of tests. It would look horrible for a math-major to have taken an intensive math class and would look weird that I was also taking a high-level math course at the same time. When we were informed about this, we were outraged and research does suggest that having such a class on your transcript will eliminate the possibility for getting into a good competitive college or getting the scholarship for out-of-state colleges in academics. I took many extra-classes and aced them online and we want to have this class removed from our transcript considering the fact that by rules, they cannot place a student performing as well as I am into a class lower than the classes previously taken. Do you agree with this? We are bringing this to the District Officer and the class was so basic, that I would be the only one in the class getting an A, "100%" every test and I would finish the questions in 5-10 minutes at most for any classwork given. Was the Guidance Counselor wrong to do this? What consequences might he face for this and will we be compensated for these troubles or have this transcript recording of this intensive class removed, exempt, or clarified?

Answer 1

Yeah, I agree - your counselor shouldn't suggest a class you literally shouldn't be able to take
