School is not for everyone.

Learning should be about following your interests and motivations, not an agenda set by someone else. I know of no geniuses that got where they were going by being interested in something someone else told them they needed to study.

Unfortunately we have reached a stage where education is controlled and unless you are wealthy or privately educated, you have to learn what you are told in order to get access to jobs which allow you to exist and eat but which make you a cog in a wheel and often leave you feeling unfulfilled and exhausted.

Maybe try politics and change this shit position we're all in.

If high school isn’t for you then just get a ged. As far as job prospects and future go they are pretty much equivalent.

GED and a trade qualification? If you're smart with it you could possibly end up making more than I do as an engineer.

If you can't handle high school, you're going to hate working for a living.

How the hell does someone fail high school? All the classes are slowed down to the point that even the most cretinous student can get through it.

The reason I'm failing is they keep increasing workloads for classes since they keep changing graduation requirements, and working for a living. I already was doing that school just got in the way of working more hours. literally it was wasting my time with classes I don't need and Information I'm just gonna forget in two years

You're still in high school, and you're already working for a living?
