Well lets start off with the back story, or english class doesnt have many books so the buy that sits in front of me normally gets me a book because the he gets to class before me and I do the book work and let him copy it when im done, hes still failing the class though because thats pretty much all he does.

But today the teacher called him up to her desk and told him she was going to request for him to be put in AP english next year, and asked a few other people, but not me!!! I have like the 2ed or 3rd highest grade in that class and the only work he turns in is my work!! Im just wondering how she found that he would be good for a higher level english and now me.


Idk i dont really car because I could sign up for it, i dont need a teachers request, and I dont want to take ap english, but it still irks me, its just the principle of the thing!

it cn't bee me bad engrish!!

Must be racism.

Perhaps the teacher just thinks the kid is bored needs a challenge to stimulate the brain.
I was a cut-up that rarely if ever did homework also until I was put in the gifted program in 7th grade.
Never much got past the whole homework thing (except essays, I loved writing those for some strange reason), but I did take more of an interest.

Maybe, dont think so though, im pretty sure english isnt his first language (i think spanish is). I also was in G.A.T.E. from 2ed to 8th grade.

Idk i just want to rant

Perhaps she assumed you would apply on your own.
