They can force you into military school. But the military, not a chance. It's probably just them making you want to try harder.

They can't force you in to the military but they can place you in a military school. Many parents are freaking out now more than ever because of the situation that the country is in. Right now the kids that are coming out of college are not finding jobs, below average grades are not going to get you in a good college and it is harder than ever to get a good job. For your own good, don't mess up your grades. A few years ago, mediocre grades could get you into a mediocre college and all was good, now it is way different. Things are getting pretty bad and only the strong are surviving, the rest are just getting by and suffering.

lol i calmed down and made a deal with mom so I just have to make all As next time so the new question is. how do i delete this thread

Can you retake the test?

I've always struggled with algebra, but this one guy showed me a surefire way to solve any equation:

Pick a side, and move all letters not pertaining to the needed one to that side.
Cancel away anything and everything possible.

Call it the brute-force method. Might not be the fastest, or most elegant way, but it works. Ans solving complicated equations this way has built up my confidence. Which in turn allowed me to see shortcuts where before I just saw alphabet-soup.
My math-inclined friends still think I have strange ways, but say it's fine as long as I get reproducible results...

Excuse me,

do you have any Grey Poupon?

That's it, you got it. It's all just a reduction, if you can reduce it to a definite answer, great. If you can't, it's still an answer, you just still have variables. Algebra isn't hard. You're just letting the crap get in the way.
