Each school is different. Your family refuses to take you? Man, I feel for you - your school is not supporting you, your family doesn't sound like it is either - but don't worry, because the most important part <i> is </i>- that's <i>you</i>. Your question impressed me so much, and I think there are many other people in your situation at this time of year. So I've devoted a whole post to help answer you.

Trevor,

There’s no way for me to tell you what your school will decide. Each school is different. Your family refuses to take you? Man, I feel for you – your school is not supporting you, your family doesn’t sound like it is either – but don’t worry, because the most important part is - that’s you.

Your question impressed me so much, and I think there are many other people in your situation at this time of year. So I’ve devoted a whole post to help answer you.

I'm not even talking about people who just aren't good at math or who failed high school. I'm talking most people just really can't count. Period. These are usually the same people who think that the first year of the 21st century was 2000. Anyone who knows anything about math and counting will tell you the first year of the 21st century was 2001.

By coincidence, I had visited that site just yesterday, and went to comment on it, but got distracted. It's a good post. Rob - I'm not sure I'm with you on Tom Cruise, though! Thanks for posting!
