6th grade english

Hi, I've been in England for only about 2 years. I'm currently doing my GCSEs and have to pick between a levels or t levels. I have applied for both and got both. For A levels I'm choosing Maths, Physics and Criminology. My last gcse mock grades are as follows: Maths:5 Science:77 English:8
And for T levels l'm picking an engineering course. My father has done a bit of research on T levels and is saying most universities do not accept this, but we don't have a clear view of flying schools on what they think of T levels. And l've also heard maths and physics a levels together would be the end of me but t levels would be comparatively easier. I want to pick T levels since I know I'm not going to enjoy A levels, but I don't want that stopping me from being a pilot, so will pick a levels if I have to. Any advice??

I hope this is an appropriate post for this subreddit. I am seriously nearing my wit’s end with this company and would strongly recommend against working for them. They’re on the borderline of being a predatory journal and have a controversies section as long as your arm on Wikipedia, so perhaps it should be unsurprising that they’re so exploitative. Because their objective is to pump out as many papers (and special issues) as possible, they routinely accept papers far below a level of writing I would expect from a first year undergraduate. These papers pass through an initial review phase before being assigned, but it’s clear from the remarks that many of the reviewers do not speak English either, and the process really only serves as a rubber stamp. After receiving these papers, which cover an extremely broad range of highly technical subject matter, editors have only 18 hours to return the completed assignment, down from 24 hours mere months ago. What’s more, all copyeditors are subject to monthly quality checks wherein any editorial slips made during the month, no matter the abject quality of the original work, are graded against them, with the implicit threat of termination should you fall below a certain threshold. Furthermore, any communication with their English office takes almost as long as the assignment window itself, making requests for reassignment and the return of papers that meet the extremely high threshold for “extensive editing” stressful and time-consuming. Frankly, all of this would tolerable if they paid an even remotely acceptable rate. However, their starting rate in Canada is CAD 0.0056/word, which was only recently raised to a whopping CAD 0.0058/word in light of the substantial reduction in the assignment window. This means that a workload of 150,000 words a month, roughly the equivalent of three novellas, is barely enough to earn what by all accounts is some of the cheapest rent in the country, which I haven’t even been able to manage the past three months. If I recall correctly, this is a company valued on the order of billions of dollars. All of this is to say that, if you are a new editor and can afford not to, do NOT give this company your time or energy; they are a discredit to the entire field and extremely exploitative.
To close, I will note that I have often heard on this subreddit that the first year of freelancing is the hardest. Counting my work with an individual client, I’ve been at it for two years now. Does it get any better?? I have been trying to pivot toward more individual clients, as it is clear I will not be securing any editorial internships with publishers in the forseeable future. I am also hoping to secure some form of basic copyediting accreditation on top of my degrees, but that costs money I am simply not earning at the moment. I am passionate about working with words and really want to make a decent career of it, but I feel like my current employment prospects are stifling that passion.

I just passed the last test!!! And now I’m a ged grad 👩‍🎓 . If I did it, then you guys can. I learnt English as a third language,I assume you guys are more proficient in English than I am so if you are than you shouldn’t worry much about RLA test and SS. The majority of the questions is about about comprehending what you re reading.
I had a messed up education growing up. I moved back and forth a couple of times from a country to another, it was cool when I was young, but the last move,during last 2 years of high school, did nothing but worsen my grades.
I was doing really bad and I couldn’t take it anymore, and my teachers didn’t help it. One of them, who I believed loathed me once told me “ you don’t even know how to live, you’re better off dead”
Another one , before the final exams made a long talk about the future and life blah blah blah, said something like” good luck, I know you will do great in your future and that you will succeed at uni …. Except for one person who’s already a failure and won’t achieve anything” She said the last part pointing her index finger at me.
Anyways, now I’m a ged grad, I’m planning on continuing my studies. I wanna thank this community who helped me find motivation to actually make the first step. So thanks
If you have any questions about the tests feel free to ask, I’d gladly help with what I can.

The first time I made a real close friendship was in middle 7th grade they were 2 best friends we were talking all day and night even studying together but suddenly after we finished 8th grade they started ignoring me maybe because of my anger issues and rudeness when I was talking about the abuse in my house they thought I'm way too crazy so they dumped me now I'm now in first year of since 9th grade I haven't find any friends in school or online idk why but whenever I talk to someone they're really weird or narcissistic psychopaths I live in a third world corrupted country and I think it's normal for society in this type of countries to be ignorant and immoral but it's crippling I really don't know what to do I reached my peak since the last 2 months I can't get no more than 5 hours of sleep I smoke a lot of cigarettes and some days I don't even sleep at all, I tried to make my brain just forget about all the suffering and problems but YouTube and movies are always talking about brain rotting politics or violence and crime, I always seek socializing but no one likes me and it's too late already it ate up all of my brain I was a smart and fast thinker in middle school I learned English with my friends in middle school in 2 years to the point where we can listen to English songs and understand the lyrics without translation or turning the subtitles on but since they left me I can't learn anything I can't study I can't work I can't sleep it's my fault that I just tried to look for people like them I should have looked for people who are more like me but it's too late and I have just realized lately. 2 full months of insomnia and I really can't figure out who am I or what do I want or what are my interests even if right now if someone just texted me and told I'm like you or I just had a perfect friend I don't know what to say to them it's like I'm socially and mentally dead from the dry and cruel life I'm suffering from insomnia and my family doesn't care they speak loudly, shout and slam doors when I try to catch some sleep (btw I'm so sorry if I can't write correctly I can't focus at all) now the real point is that I'm asking you what is this feeling is my brain damaged or am I just dead does it have a name is it a mental disorder or is it what 5 years of no talking with people do to you when you're still growing up

Imma be honest I don't think 🤔 Natalia wasn't being sexual I think they got paid to say those lies cause how come all of a sudden Kristen and Michael went bankrupt 🤔❓ I think they used that to pay Natalia neighbor or she threatened them to be on her side the old women ik she lying somebody lying I need full blown truth the documentary not making any sense none whatsoever and Natalia was a kid talk about " Natalia don't look like a kid" yea she wasn't the same height as the kid like wtf 😭✋🏿 slow fr all Michael doing is blaming Kristen and you know why Kristen included rest of kids wasn't part of the interview because she knows we gone catch on to her lies Natalia don't understand cause she was a kid but Micheal lying and as well as the neighbors bloody panties in the room ?🤔 Something ain't right only a few people confirmed Natalia was a kid but the neighbors ion like them they really effy and fishy it's either Kristen convinced them or lawyers then forcing tampons now that's an SA I think that is because why u forcing a 6 or 7 yr old to put a tampon inside of her I remember hearing about this in 6th grade and i told my peers I want to adopt they bought up the orphan movie situation instead I told them that shi is not true because it's not the. On top of that u hurting someone else's child 😖😮‍💨 the doctor force the mom give her child up and yes it would be to dangerous and risky at her country but then she getting ship to USA it's 10 times worse I just hope and Natalia doing ok

My first best friend, who I'll call Melissa, and I met in kindergarten and were both 5 at the time. We both looked and smiled at each other. That was the day we became friends and it was the most happiest day of my childhood. I sat next to her and we were hanging out with each other every day.
We would do so many things at school with each other. We would sit on the carpet to play with the items the teacher put out for the class each morning. We would always do fun activities in the gym. We would sit at lunch, laugh about funny things we told each other, and hang out at recess every day. My favorite moment was when we were on the swings to see who would go the highest and just look at each other and smile. We did go to other parts of the playground but the swings was our favorite.
When we weren't in a classroom together with our teachers due to them having a different assigned classroom, we would still hang out in lunch and in recess because they released everyone at a certain time by grade level. For example, if we were in 1st grade and students were in a different classroom, the 1st graders would all be released at the same time while the other students in different grades remained in the same classroom. So even if Melissa and I were in different classrooms, we would always meet up and have a great time.
In 3rd grade, I found this girl who I'll call Leah. Leah and I would do pretty fun things together since we were in the same classroom and were hanging out with each other, but I'd still go and hang out with Melissa sometimes. I introduced Melissa to Leah and we basically became a friend group, or at least I thought it was a friend group.
During this time I was constantly having to pick sides with some of our things we were making up as kids. First, it was who I was to sit with at lunch. (Sometimes I wasn't lucky enough to sit with either of them because of a rule where we had to sit in a boy-girl pattern to apparently make everyone quieter during lunch time.) Then it was with some group or clan we made up during recess, Melissa was in "unicorn squad" and Leah was in "girl squad" (I made up the name of girl squad.) I would try to bring them both together but Melissa's friends and Leah's friends didn't get along too well. I had no other best friends besides the both of them and it kinda broke my heart to see them not get along as well as I was with them. Then on a very traumatic day in fourth grade that I still regret for the rest of my life, Melissa and Leah both came up to me and said "You have to pick one best friend." I said I wanted them both to be my best friends but Leah kept pushing that I only pick one. Then we made up a stupid contest to see who would win (my idea) and I was a little tired of it and made Leah win. I have never seen such a sad look on Melissa's face when we were about to leave for home. I ran after her and apologized, I tried to comfort her and I think it worked since we stopped the argument.
Later on in the year of 4th grade, Melissa and Leah had some new friends they were hanging out with. I was fine with it at first, but seeing as their friends were experiencing many joyful moments with my best friends without me, I grew hatred towards their friends. I became jealous of what they were doing. I tried everything as a 9 year old girl could possibly do to keep the relationship going between me and my best friends. I still sat with both of them at lunch and joined them in recess. When they were busy hanging out with their friends, I was left alone, wandering around the playground, doing the things my best friends and I used to do but alone this time. It became depressing just thinking about memories of me and my friends playing together in the past and having fun. Now I had to have fun but alone as I watch my best friends have fun with theirs instead of me. I became even more depressed and angry seeing other random friendships because they were having fun and not me. I felt so alone, hurt, betrayed, so much emotion. This grew into more extreme hate towards the friends of my best friends.
In 5th grade, I did everything I could to have fun with them, but for some reason, something felt off. We hung out less. We didn't sit at lunch every day. Then I found out something shocking. Leah was hanging out with other girls who would give her lunch money, (I gave her lunch money for quite a long time now so we would get snacks with my money I gave her) and was making videos with these girls. I then hated the girls because apparently in my mind, they were controlling and possessing my friend. They stole her away from me. Leah and I still hung out and I considered her my friend because I didn't understand the concept of being used for money. Leah would always invite me to make videos but I wasn't comfortable. I realized how much of a fake friend she was but I still gave her a chance to change but never happened. I went to hang out with Melissa more after this but this felt a bit off too. She was hanging out with this one girl a lot. She seems pretty happy to be with her instead of me more. Melissa was into anime and I wasn't, so that drifted us apart but I didn't see it. I wasn't really into any of my best friend's interests because I was still depressed and full of rage against these girls. I grew to hate everyone and everything and I only wanted to be with Melissa.
It was near the end of the year when I went to go with Melissa in the playground where we always used to go, the swings. She constantly kept moving away, switching swings of just walking away from me. This hurt a lot coming from a close friend like her. I went to hang out with Leah because I still had no friends besides the two of them. Leah as well, left me behind and I was there alone again. All this just fueled my anger against everything. I hated other people, I hated activities, I hated everything, including myself. I thought this was weird since I didn't express my hate that badly towards these other girls, although I did want them to through horrible and horrendous things because in my mind, they were stealing my friends. They took away the people who made me happy. I was getting worse from my mental health because I wanted nothing but my happiness and my best friends back. I had a few thoughts of kidnapping my best friends so they could be with me forever. I would be happy and experience all the happy moments we would share together again. It was pointless anyway because I was just a 10 year old and couldn't do anything.
During these final months before everyone was all homeschooled for a year, I noticed whenever I tried to be with Melissa, she moved away from me again. I tried many times to catch up with her but she continued moving away. I thought absolutely nothing of it because of a funny joke by the teachers saying we hung out too much and we should be separated. I found it funny because at the time, our friendship was strong and I thought nothing would ever separate us from having fun. So I just thought about it as if she was playing around with that joke. I gave up catching up after Melissa because I was tired and I thought she was playing the joke on me. It turns out, I overheard something she said and she said I was too clingy. I didn't know what it meant and I thought she said a funny word and thought nothing of it. Later on she asked me for a break. I said that it was fine and I thought she meant a break for one day (I thought breaks were meant to be short at the time) and we left each other alone.
It came a few days later where she said she didn't want to be my friend anymore. I then went to hang out with Leah, who I didn't hang out with for a long while, said she also didn't want to be friends with me anymore. I was broken by their words but I just thought it was all a joke to me, because I thought it was dumb to unfriend someone for hanging out with them every day.
Fast forward to 6th grade where we were homeschooled for a year, I was full of hope that I was going to be friends with Melissa again after a long time. Then came 7th grade where I was 12 and I continued to sit with her at lunch again, but this time I felt nothing. There were no fun conversations like we usually had back in elementary. I just felt like I wasn't meant to be there. I still felt the same loneliness, rage, and sadness back like I was in 5th grade. That's when I finally realized I was no longer her friend, and I had so much hate in myself for taking a year to realize I had been blind to all of this. I never felt so much sadness like that in my life. The two friends I had left me, I was really depressed by this reason, and now I constantly question myself wondering what I did wrong. I still grovel over them both. It's been a few years now. Did I do something wrong?

So I finished matric in 2020 and did very badly. Didn't even go to school after covid hit and only went like twice a week after schools reopened in June. I rewrote twice and got okay marks.

• Pure Maths - 88%
• Home Language - 84%
• English First Additional Language - 92%
• Business Studies - 82%
• Computer Applications Technology - 94%
• Information Technology - 86%
• LO - 68%. Idk what happened here.

As you can see I don't have Physical Sciences and Life Sciences which are needed for medicine and I have been told I can add subjects with the amended senior certificate.
Some of my friends got into medicine with lesser marks, but they had life and physical science since grade 10. Would I be able to apply to medicine with amended senior certificate if I write it next year?

So I may have two job offers coming in this week and I want to weigh the pros/cons with some fellow teachers to see what you think. For reference, I currently teach 6th grade (4th year teaching, always 6th or 7th grade), and I'm certified for 4-8 math. I also have 3 kids; 1 school age (elementary) and 2 Littles. I could stay where I'm at but I'm not happy with some of the things next year, like how we are addressing loss of funds, breaking my team up, our calendar, etc. I've also been getting up at 4:30 everyday to commute and my poor kids get up at 5:30 and we don't get home until almost 6 (I live about 45 mins from my campus and can't afford to live anywhere less than 25 mins away).
Option #1: Intermediate School Pros- 6th Grade, so familiar to me and I'm certified for it District offers low-cost daycare (I have 2 under school age) that would save me over $1200+/month School calendar includes Fall Break (rare for my area) Small classes and less overall students; teach 3 block periods per day with about 20 kids each Comparable school rating to where I currently work Same contract hours I have now Autonomy in the classroom
Cons- Would have to relocate to the area about 40 mins from our current house (lease is up in August anyway so not a major issue, but is farther from family) Would have to still drive about 25 min each way from where we could afford to move to Would move into a team of veteran teachers who have been together several years Lower salary than I currently make Lots of BTC concepts and stations in the classroom, which I'm unfamiliar with
Option #2: move up to High School Pros- I've worked at this district in the past, so I know "the game" and many people I would love to teach HS; not a state-tested subject (yay!) Comparable salary to what I currently make I've taught this group of kids several years ago when they were in JH (could also be a con, lol) Could relocate when my lease is up and be close to family and only about 10 mins from the school Lots of autonomy in the classroom and how I can grade things
Cons- Lower rating than current school No district daycare, kids would likely stay at their current facility Would have to study and get HS Math cert within the year or I won't have a job next year - very nerve wracking for me 6 classes with 25-30 kids each Earlier contract hours than I have now No Fall break
What would you do?

I’m a 16-year-old male, and I still have a backpack filled with things I treasured from my first love relationship. (P.S. I’m really bad at explaining myself and bad with words, so bear with me. Also I’m leaving a lot of things out.) My girlfriend and I were together since the 6th grade and ended things at the beginning of my junior year. I have tried to get rid of this backpack filled with things I treasured, but I just can’t seem to do it.
I hated the way things ended because I felt like I could have done more. I froze in the heat of the moment and was lost for words when she told me she wanted to end our relationship. I just agreed and said, “alright then.” I honestly don’t know why I didn’t try to stop us from splitting up—it just happened so fast. I felt so much regret the following day; I just sat in bed for hours on end.
Two weeks later, I opened up Instagram to see her with another guy—her new boyfriend. This made me feel a mix of emotions. I couldn’t believe she moved on so quickly after so many years together. It made me question if what we had meant anything to her at all and if she really loved me all those years. I blocked her the second I saw her story. I was stunned. I then deleted everything in my camera roll that had anything to do with her and tried forgetting about her. But I still have this backpack filled with our things. After eight whole months, I still have it. What should I do?

Our school terribly informed us about what we need for recognition in those countries, which is why my friends and I, using the magical ability of hindsight have crafted the perfect IB to target CS Unis in Benelux/ Germany and maximize score.
This will work in most western European countries, I just know for a fact it would in the aforementioned
Math AA HL, this one will be brutal but is super vital, this is the subject you will focus most time on
English B HL, this one will pretty much give you free 6-7s for most people, and will be a vital part of being recognized as an “Abitur”
CS HL, this one is relatively hard but super helpful in learning the basics for Uni
Phys/Bio/Chem SL, whatever you feel most comfortable in, vital for Abiturrecognition in Germany
Whatever your native language is as a B language, will get you a free 7
Humanity (recommend economics) SL, humanities are a lot easier at SL level, and with this you will have a full Abitur recognized.
Other than CS HL and AA HL most of these subjects will be a very easy study- high grade ratio, with selections automatically getting you into most computer science/ data science/ ai courses. If anyone wants to maximize IB and is planning on studying in the names countries, this is the way to go

I don't even know where to start. I'm a 19 year old girl, I live in a third world country and I'm kinda drowning currently.
I'm very autistic, I can talk and do some school stuff but I can't adapt to work environments at all and holding down a job has been impossible even though I've gone through training or a month or two of work in like a dozen places. It just never sticks. And this is a huge problem and relevant to my situation.
I'm currently in college too, on top of that, but because of the autism it's been impossible to keep up with the pace and truly learn and I've been failing exams and other college obligations. It's all going downhill.
I don't like going to college at all to begin with, but the crux of my issue is that I hail from a very abusive, very strict family and they demand I not only finish college but do it with good grades too. And I depend on them financially. Now I got into this college on a full scholarship because I managed to get through previous schooling with good grades (with extreme pressure and mental breakdowns and stress put on me by my family) so my family doesn't have to pay for school. Still, they pay for my housing and food.
They don't believe I'm struggling, they're those types of mental health deniers, and my worth to them is directly tied into my college performance. They've threatened to cut me off if I fail college before and often blackmail me by withholding enough money for me to live (there was one month where I had to go hungry a lot because I couldn't cover everything with rent and bills and public transport fees etc.).
The problem is that I'm depending on them, and my inability to work makes it impossible for me to become independent. I keep trying to find jobs that might be possible for me to do but they either don't want students or want people with a lot of work experience which I don't have. Or they just don't call me back.
I'm just so depressed and honestly just so scared. I don't want to become homeless and destitute, and I wish I could handle college because I know a college diploma is useful in life, but I just can't. Every time I think I finally did a little better in school or learned a bit more, my results come back bad anyways. It's so stressful because the only livelihood I have access to currently depends on my college success but I'm not succeeding despite trying my best.
I don't know what to do. I don't know what I can do either. It all feels hopeless. My family looms so large because they control money and therefore resources and I don't know how I can ever break free. I'm just so lost.
I need general life advice here, I think. Anyone who's been through something similar, how did you get out of it? What options exist out there? I'm sorry if this post sounds like I'm whining, I'm just desperately trying to find a solution because the state of things as it is right now isn't working out at all. English isn't my first language either so if my tone or wording is weird, I'm sorry.
Thank you anyone who reads this. Hope you have a good day

Well, everything started in 2012 when I was in elementary school, and a new math teacher was transferred to my school. At first, no one knew anything about her; we only knew she had been transferred from her old school after being on leave for some time. From her first class, she exhibited strange behavior, and none of the students really understood what she was doing (we had just started elementary school and were 10 and 11-year-old kids). The first red flags were when she divided the classroom in half: one half was for white students and the other for black students. Even though I was white, I felt very bad because the students on the other side of the room began to be treated differently. It started with her ignoring those students' questions. They really tried to ask for help, but she just ignored them. After some time, during tests and homework submissions, the humiliation began. She started to insult all the black students whenever they couldn't complete a task or scored poorly on tests. The insults were always very "masked"; she would always say, "You will never be anything in life," or "When you grow up, you'll be garbage collectors or drug dealers." Most of us didn't really understand what was happening because we were just kids who had just left fifth grade. But everything got worse when the teacher found her favorite student, Francis. Francis was the only white and blonde boy in the class. Since the teacher created this bizarre fixation on Francis, the lives of all the other students became hell. At this point, she started to humiliate all the students except Francis. The first thing she did to me was when I handed in my homework, and she accused me, without any proof, of copying from Francis (I was the best-performing math student in my class, and that year I was even selected to compete in a regional school competition called the Math Olympics). I tried to argue that I hadn't copied, but she simply tore up my homework and said, "You are very arrogant and will be a failure." When she said that to me, I was furious and had no reaction. In the following days, my life turned into real hell. A few weeks before school started, I had been hospitalized for a severe urinary infection, and the doctors told me not to hold my urine for long periods because it could increase the occurrence of urinary infections. I went to the bathroom twice per class because I couldn't hold it anymore. But from the day she humiliated me, she forbade me from going to the bathroom, even after I informed her about my condition. When I told her that, she shouted to the class, "This mommy's boy can't handle anything." When she said that, I had a fit of rage, threw all my materials at the board, and screamed with all my might, "I hate you," then ran out of the classroom straight to the bathroom. That same day, my mother was called to the school, and when I told the principal the whole story of what had been happening, I only received a warning. The principal asked me to leave the room to talk privately with my mother. When I left the room, the principal begged my mother not to file a complaint against the teacher and told her the real reason she had been transferred. He told my mother that Mrs. Rosa had lost her 12-year-old daughter in an accident. Since that happened, she had been on psychological leave for six months and requested a transfer to another school, which is why she behaved that way (which, to me, does not justify any of her behavior). After this incident, the school year was a true nightmare; it was truly my worst year in math. Fast forward 10 years to 2022, when I was already in college, I met my English teacher again. Since school, I had always been her favorite student, and she lived in the same neighborhood as me. After finishing high school, I became good friends with my English teacher, and we often met for coffee. I would tell her about the news from college, and she would tell me about her students. During one of these meetings, she told me that Mrs. Rosa had passed away in 2020 due to an overdose. She told me that since 2013, Mrs. Rosa had struggled with substance abuse, and in 2020, she was found dead in her home. Even after everything that happened, my feelings are very confused about this whole story. Sometimes I feel a bit of empathy, and sometimes I feel she got what she deserved in the end.

The one biggest regret of mine is that I didn't fight enough for my dreams and future. I had a lot of passion for sports journalism and journalism in general. I was the best student in 10th grade in English and Social Sciences and would get 95+ with just a day of studying. I wanted to take Humanities and even talked to all my subject teachers about what stream I should choose. Everyone advised me to take Humanities. I was determined to follow my passion.
My parents on the other hand, thought otherwise. They said that students who take humanities are destined to do a low paying job and as I have to support a family in the future, I should take up science and forget my dreams. Now after 2 years of living in the hell hole of coaching classes, all I could manage was 63.4% in 12th boards. Why do my parents not understand that Science is not for everyone. They think becoming an engineer or a doctor is the only way to live in this world.
After looking at my result, they are scolding me and reminding me what a wasted person I am. They compare me to my cousin sister who is a year younger than me and is the topper of her class. If I had fought for my passion a bit more I would've been at a better place today. I regret this the most.
For the past two years I didn't have anyone to talk to and had no friends. A couple of my classmates have got 95% in boards and have cracked JEE. My parents say that even though you have the same teachers why haven't you been able to perform like them. Life could've been so different if I was a little more adamant.
