since you're in the 9th grade and presumablly still live at home, then your parents will have the ultimate say so.

I have been to 10 different schools in 7 different US states. If I were you, I wish I would have stayed in one school. Trust me, it sucks to transfer from school to school. Stick with this one.
3 :
me too bro, i dont like my school either, all the girls here are well to put it bluntly WHORES try asking for a school transfer but then again im in the US i got no idea how that works over there

A nation develop with educated people and good education make the people educated.So,you have to analyse the quality of education in your school.

I don't really know the district laws in the UK but if you really want to change schools you can start looking at private schools and boarding schools. There are many private schools and im sure you can find one to suit your personality. Many of these private schools offer scholarships and often help you secure a strong foundation for your future. If you cant get into a private school or cant afford it then I would suggest broadening perspective of school. I would say most high schools are similar. They are just as good or bad as you make it. I know that sounds a little cliche but I truly believe if you dedicate yourself to working hard, having fun, and making friends, then you may have a better time at your current school.

If there are any other schools in your area, you should try to move to one of them. Call another school, ask them if they have any places left in year 9, and just get a application form for another school.

College without a doubt. It is what will open the door to your career.
2 :
what school are you talking about when you say "in school"?
3 :
...i failed all my exams except english lol. i think you should go to college you will be taught pshycology properly instead of learning thorugh a videa. plus you get to meet new people and make new friends and stuff.
4 :
unless your school is terrible i suggest you stay there. In school they will support you much more than college and make sure you stay on track with your work and such.. In your school, you are comfortable and know your way around things, if you start a new college, it is a big risk to take because you might hate it and take long to settle in, ending in you failing your A levels. Good luck!

you'll probably have to apply at schools near you. answer mine?http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=AswZdVxiJUtMvMxuqlDBHVXsy6IX;_ylv=3?qid=20090914042639AAHXz8a

The government do send out documents, but it's best to make sure that the local education authority are aware of her because sometimes kids get missed, especially if you don't live in the area she was born in. If you ring the school you are interested in, they probably keep a list of kids who they are aware of and make sure they get all the forms at the right time. Note: I'm assuming it's a state school. If it's a private school, you will have to apply directly and the sooner the better.

Civil/Structural Engineer-Which subjects to study in a UK secondary school for 14 yr old

Civil/Structural Engineer-Which subjects to study in a UK secondary school for 14 yr old?
I want to become a civil/ structural engineer to work with designing/building bridges, highways, dams and building architecture. I'm 14 years old in a UK secondary school and need to choose the relevant subjects as a first step towards this. Which subjects should i choose? Maths, physics, chemistry, resistant materials, design & technology, any other? Thank you. Waiting!

Math is fundamental. Physics follows.

Math, math, and math, followed by physics, chemistry, computer programing will be very helpful. I'm from the US so I don't know your educational system that well but the ability to communicate and speak publicly will also be important. Also take some classes that do group projects if you can so you learn to work in a group. By far though, all the math you can get. If you don't enjoy the math, pick a different profession. Hope this helps.

hello from canada, from my point of view, here would be some recommendations: - "tech" class, building things with different materials (balsa wood, acrylics, vacuum forming), hopefully some exposure to AutoCAD, CNC, electrical circuits. - CHEMISTRY if only for the atomic theory -- but anything you can get in highschool the better. Civil (and lots of mechanical) engineers need to learn about chemical bonding and enthalpy when choosing materials to build structures with. - ALGEBRA, matrix theory - CALCULUS, the more you learn about differentiation and integration and can start memorizing trig identities, integrals and derivatives the better. work it in with flash cards, burn them permanently into your mind while you have time to do it - PHYSICS, physics, physics, physics, physics - COMPUTER SCIENCE to learn the basics of varaibles, looping and decision structures, and using the computer as a tool to solve problems. engineers need a very solid foundation in all of the sciences except biology, physiology, anatomy or any of the more organic side of things. the minimum requirements for entry to my program were at least 75% in all of the following: grade 12 completion with at least SIX U-level credits in Calculus, Algebra & Geometry, Physics, Chemistry, and English (English/Anglais I preferred) best regards i_have_a_really_long_nickname

Congratulations on your choice. Engineers are always in demand, and I do not see the demand lowering anytime soon. I am registered Engineer in in Training (having just passed my F.E.) after having spent three years studying Civil Engineering in California. You will need A LOT of math. The more the better in fact. I use geometry every day. I am also on my computer a lot as well. Understanding Engineering programs such as Autocad and Solid Works is a must. Also look into communications or speech...... It is very hard to make an adequate presentation without a good speech background
5 :
It doesn't really matter until you choose your A levels but you should ideally choose at A level: Maths (mechanical variant if possible) Physics Another Science - Chemistry/Design/Biology I did biology as the degree I wanted to study was in Medical Engineering. For Civil probably chemistry would be better. Most universities would want 3 A level Sciences at about a B or above. At GCSE do whatever you enjoy as long as you can do the science A levels.
