HI MY LUVS!

Been a while eh? well i've been busy with school and family issues and stuff.

my english teacher is trying to cram a whole year of learning into less than 2 months. she was away for the first semester of school and while she was away, the sub that we had didn't teach us what we were supposed to be learning. now everyone is worried that they won't pass the AP exam because we aren't prepared. The teacher is trying her hardest to prepare us for it and this is the year that the AP board changes the exam and this year they are making it harder. the teacher said that last year only 3 people passed the exam, and those people had ALL year to prepare, so now imagine us trying to take the exam when we have only been preparing for the test less than 2 months. it also doesnt help that the AP board decided to do its testing earlier in the year, last year it got in the way of state testing.

the teacher was telling us that the Junior class (my class) this year is doing really bad. our valedictorian has a 4.2 GPA, that's the lowest GPA that a valedictorian has ever had in this school. last year's valedictorian had a 4.8 GPA and the one before that had a 4.65 or something. she says that the juniors are doing worst in writing. a girl in my class brought up the point that some of us dont have anyone to help us at home with english because our parents don't speak english and if they do, then they don't speak it well enough to help us if we ever do need help. I think its true because sometimes i need help with an essay and i can't ask my parents becase my mom doesn't speak english and my dad doesn't speak it very well. and i dont have an older sibling to help me out, so if i ever do need help with something, i have to figure it out on my own and if i don't well then too bad for me.
the teacher says that this is a good point and the whole junior class is about 95-96% latino/hispanic so that may explain why the junior class sucks at english.

luv u all!!
