| Things never can be easy, can they? |
Christian's little sister moved in with us about a month ago when she turned 18. All of us thought that was the best decision since her and their mom don't get along at all. So...after all this is said and done, we try to put her into the public high school in our district (she's a senior this year). We go to the old school to get her transcripts and to withdraw her from there. The old hag in the office then proceeds to tell her she can't get her transcripts or transfer out of school because her guardian isn't with her. "Umm...ok. I'm 18. There is no guardian." Well, that doesn't matter because according to this lady, she needs a parent or guardian to pull her out of school. So, you mean to tell me someone can legally drop out of high school without parental consent when they are 16, but they can't switch schools when they are 18? How the fuck does that work? -sigh-
So, we leave that school because we are tired of not getting a straight answer. We then drive across town to her new school to see if she can just enroll in there. They want a copy of her transcripts.... GAH! We can't get those.
We then drive home and call the school board. They tell us that all that running around and arguing with the lady was completely unnecessary and that we should have just called them (the school board) first. Ugh thanks lady. How sweet of you. Either way though, she did help us out. She said her former school has no idea what they are talking about and she doesn't need a guardian. The school has no idea what they are talking about either since they don't need a copy of her transcripts.
People are idiots. You would think schools, out of all places, would have a clue about laws and how things work. With as many students as there are, you'd think they would have to get this stuff right. Apparently not.
Gas is too expensive to be running across the city (about 30 miles each way) plus Nicole ended up being late to work because she has to get this taken care of so she can go back to school on Monday. All in all, I want my damn money back. Stupid gas. |
