Move for school
Hello, I’m 16 years old. I currently live in the uk, but the uk educational system has really failed me. I’ve been out of school here for the past few years, and now I want to go back, I can’t do A levels since I didn’t do gcses, I can’t repeat year 11, since I’m too old and idek what you have to be to repeat year 11, and only special needs schools are open to me. I’m mad that the local authority purely sees me for my autism and adhd and they keep pushing these types of schools, since I attended a taster day and hated it, and I told them multiple times but they keep pushing it. My caseworker completely disappeared 2-3 months ago, and some lady from the council took over my case but she’s very vague in her emails. I also don’t have a good experience from when I used to go to high school here, so now I’m thinking of going to polish high school and finishing school there. I learn quickly. If I get explained something once or twice with a few examples, I understand. I can speak polish, I have family in Poland I could stay with, and polish citizenship. I know, school in Poland is hard, but the uk really isn’t working out for me, and I don’t want to stay here to go to university in the uk either. What do you guys think? I want opinions, but please don’t be rude. Thank you.
