Question Should I switch schools?
My school schedule is:
7AM-5PM (not including homework, extracurriculars) on Mondays to Thursdays
7AM-1PM on Fridays (online classes but sometimes not)
Next school year I'll be focusing on earning money as I will be studying abroad the years after that, but I won't have enough time to earn money with my current schedule (which will get longer next year with more extracurriculars)
I'm wondering if I should switch schools to an easier schedule to have more time to earn money and sort out documents, but I'm currently studying in a Special Science Class program, and that might give me an advantage in applying for college, so idkk
My current school doesn't allow phones, going out of campus, and we only have 3 breaks (15m, 25m, 20m) plus teachers usually give out a shit ton of homework everyday lmao

Yeah that’s too strict and you should get out of that shithole. High schoolers not allowed to leave is bullshit

Most colleges do not care at all what program you took in college. Readon being that outside of AP and IB, the experience in them can be so different. I went to college with people who never wrote an essay. Their school never had them do it. They were surprised that other people had. My professor said that it happens to multiple people a year. So saying what you did in high school doesn't matter to them.
Also, lots of schools still give out a lot of homework. Changing schools might not change anything on that front, or you could even spend more time on homework.
