Skipping a grade!!!

[Bassboss]

Normally skipping in school is a bad thing, but in my case.....

In school I was in a program called "NovaNet." It's a program that if you have been held back in a grade, it lets you go to the next grade after the first nine weeks, and to the next grade after that year is over, thus, doing 2 grades in one year. But you can only be promoted if you have, A's, B's, and C's. And 3's and 4's in conduct.

I met all of the requirements, and will be promoted to 8th grade as of 2009, and next year go to high school!!

So you will be 20 when graduating highschool? I dont get it? How could you be 15 and in 7th grade making up two years of school?

[Bassboss]

So you will be 20 when graduating high school?

The answer to that would be yes.

How could you be 15 and in 7th grade making up two years of school?

Lets just say I got held back a little more than once .

Congrats on getting good grades and good conduct scores!  Sounds to me like you are focusing on your schoolwork now, and are working on your behavior.  Keep it up!

[firefightn15]

Good job bassboss, now stay after it!

[bilgerat]

Better listen to these guys, Junior. There is no such job called "gettin' paid"

Good job on getting on the right track!!! There are so many distractions that it is easy to go down the wrong one. Now make us proud and turn those C's to B's and those B's to A's.

BTW, by looking at your profile I see that you have only been a member here for a little over two months. Being that you just currently qualified to skip a grade, I don't see how being on BR is hurting you. If anything this has probably been an escape from the other problems that teenagers have to deal with that was putting you in the bad spot to begin with.  Does it suck that you are behind?  Yes.  But what is done is done and the fact that you are catching up it plenty to be excited about.

Holy freaking schmokes I about had a heart attack there.   ;D

Anyways, congrats on catching up.  I'd recommend working even harder to catch up as much as possible.  One thing many people fail to realize is that decisions made early on (like 5th grade, etc) affect your life forever.  Congrats on trying to get back on a better path.

[Hookemdown.]

Congratulations!

Is there any way you could skip another grade, or is this a one time thing?

^^Also remember before BassBoss He was on here for awhile as SNAPPER G

The past is past.  He's working hard to make improvements, yet we criticize.  

Congrats Bassboss, it sounds like you're heading down the right path.  Keep up the good work.

When I was in 7th grade we had a kid who transferred from out of state.  This guy was all of 17, full beard and everything.  We all called him Hairy.

Now build on this. You should get off here a bit and start reading one book a month, work on telling the truth and if you did it once you can do it twice.

Don't worry I am 20 and graduating this year.

Don't ask please

Bassboy,

Get that high school diploma.

That is your goal.

Then, either get a career or go to a community college, a trade school or a university.

Just get that education.  

[SPEEDBEAD.]

Bassboss, keep on with your improvements. You may have a long way to go, but ya gotta start somewhere...

Way to go kid.  Keep on keepin' on!

[fish-fighting-illini]

Congrats on the progress.

No 20hrs on BassResource.com is not a good thing for anyone anytime. Spend 17hrs of that reading and getting ahead and you will be in college by a week from friday

Seriously if you are making progress keep it up.

[Redlinerobert]

Keep on keepin on.

[Micro]

Yep, looks like you are getting things on the right track.  Better late than never.  Congrats!  And glad to have you on BR.  School comes first, though.  There will be plenty of time yet for BR and fishing.  

[Bassboss]

Keep on keepin on.

So I should get into dancing?  :-?

[rondef]

I am glad to hear that you are getting back on track.  Just remember that your school work should be your first priority.  

[fishinfiend]

I would be behind too if I was catching 8-10lbers all day long  

Congratulations, Bassboss. Keep up the good work. School is the most important thing in your life right now, there will be plenty of time for the other stuff later.

Bassboss,

Please accept my apologies on behalf of some of the BR members who are giving you the business.  I don't know that they mean harm by their comments.  We ARE proud that you are able to move on to the next grade early, but would like to challenge you to make your academic ventures priority.  Prove your critics wrong by making the honor roll every six weeks.  Go get'em kid!!

P.S.  And, for the record, gentlemen, I have had MANY 15-16 year old students in 7th-8th grade who have went on to high school and performed really  well.  Don't underestimate bassboss!  He just might be "yourboss" someday!

God bless,

Fisher
