How about what I'm contending with?
We moved to NC this summer. One look at my son's unofficial transcripts, and they shifted him to the local college fast track magnet school. In fact, within two weeks they determined he was eligible to graduate in the middle of the year.(11th grade!) Sounds awesome, yeah? Well, they needed the official transcripts from his old school. Nothing. We called...five times. Nothing. After concerted effort, we got them faxed. Guess what? Because we left a week before school's official end, that dump decided he was an incomplete, and refuses to consider him a pass for 10th grade. We have letters from the guidance counselor who assured us his high scores, plus his approved final high scores(nothing below a 96) were all they could hope for. Now that counselor is gone, and the school says, 'he wouldn't do that'. They claim the North Carolina school has to decide themselves whegher or not to accept an incomplete semester. Uh, assholes, he completed it there...you just refuse to sign off on it! Why would the new school have to, or want to, just let a kid slide anyways? No...that PA school screwed up. My wife had to go to the superintendant there and shame him...badly...before he decided to look into it. This is day two without a satisfactory conclusion. My boy is on pins and needles trying to get a seat for ACT and SAT's...he sure doesn't need this.
