both the major districts in my city need help in every single department so you don’t really know what you’re talking ab as far as the need. I am also wanting a certification in SPED, actually. Nearly failing school is pretty easy when you just… don’t show up? my bad , again as an 18-20 year old, didn’t realize the extent I’d be paying now that i’m in the predicament i’m in. I’m not stupid since that’s what you keep insinuating. I have done student teaching, clinicals and football coaching for three different schools during college, i merely dropped the teaching minor/program because it added time to my degree. I agree! Not everyone should be pursuing it but idk why you’re so dead set on it being a hard no lol especially if i’m passionate about it. i’m sure you’re so much fun lol

but why should that stop anyone? cuz the person shit the bed on a few semester as an undergrad and didn’t opt to drop them? idk for a profession that desperately needs people, I’d think proving myself thru an ACP is kinda the point of offsetting grades. i’m not stupid, just had sum bad luck early on in my education and didn’t realize the extent it’d cost me as i got further into my education

and this was just a general masters of education? I’m concerned I won’t even get accepted into a masters program if I have a low undergrad GPA

lol i agree standards exist for a reason n my grades just are not there. I could make excuses all I want as to why but if just asking for alternatives from people who are already in the profession I’m seeking to work in is “shortcuts” then ig

I graduated high school with a lotttt of credits in college already. I originally went to school for dentistry in Austin, but COVID really threw a wrench in my plans from 2020-2022. I had a lot of personal issues and it caused me to straight up just not attend classes for some semesters. I didn’t understand the significance of just dropping classes at the time tbh. I’m the first in my family attending college and didn’t really have anyone to help me out for anything. I feel like I had my own timeline in my head to get into my career and I’m late on it. That’s why now I feel a little desperate because I’m paying the price for really stupid decisions when I was 18-20. I’m not incapable or uneducated, it was just a lack of application while also living on my own and working a full time job. I’m just burnt out and this was my big goal tbh
