Making Up High School Credits

Video Transcript

"Hi, this is Laura Turner, and today, I'm going to talk with you about making up high school credits. If you miss an entire class in high school, or you fail completely a class in high school you don't have to totally freak out because you can make them up. If you fail a class in high school the, probably the easiest thing for you to do to make up that credit is to take summer school, and in summer school you're going to take that same class, but you're just going to be taking it over your summer break, so make sure that when you take summer school you actually take it very seriously, because I've known people, or I knew people in high school who would take the same class over and over again and never ever get out of that making up the class rut. So, really try the second time to get it right. Sometimes, you don't fail a class and miss credits; sometimes you actually get sick and you have to be pulled out of school. You you or your parents can actually talk to administrators in the case of illness, or in the case of you not actually being able to attend school because of a physical problem, and you can work something out with them; sometimes, possibly like independent studies with your teachers, or different times for you to go to school and make up these credits that you've had while you were sick. And those are just some ways that you can make up high school credits."
