What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Michigan
Hey everybody I need some advice on what i should do on this situation.So heres a little bit of back ground information. Im 16 years old and i recently dropped out of high school.My freshmen year in high school i failed almost all of my classes and i only managed to get 1.5 out of the 6 credits required for the whole year, alot of this was due to the fact that i was on some strong medication that made me go to sleep during school. This caused me to fall behind in school to the point where it was nearly impossible for me to catch up with what i had missed.During the summer i received a phone call from the local alternative high school in the district basically telling me that i had to go there. So I start going to school in this new alternative high school and i realize that it was not what i had expected. The school was full of bullies and the staff were disrespectful and rude to me I just did not feel safe or comfortable going to that school. It got so bad to the point wee i decided that my only way out was to drop out because i turned 16 in october. The school district WILL NOT let me go back to a traditional high school which i think is absolutely ridiculous.First of all why cant i just retake freshmen classes and take upon myself to recover my credits. It shouldnt be their call on where i go to school my parents pay taxes and i should have the right to education in a place where i feel safe and comfortable. Its not a private school. They dont have the right to weed out students they dont want and try to manipulate me into thinking i have to do what they say. The thing is I have been diagnosed with both ADD and depression.I think my disabilities have made school very difficult since i get discouraged easily and i have to worry about both not being able to pay attention and my emotional well being. Is it not discrimination if they just eliminate a kid from their school who has disabilities? The other interesting thing is that there is less then 1% hispanics in the high school and i am hispanic but Im not sure if that has anything to do with it. Anyways can they really force me to go to an alternative school or do i have any legal rights in the matter? My parents are willing to hire a lawyer to solve this but i wanted to get some advice.Do i have to choose between not having an education or having to put up with a school that is full of troubled kids and getting harassed every day?Thank you for reading and i hope someone can help
