If you want to talk about your school=STUPID than you should hear about my school.

A little background info first......
I am the only one from my team at my school. And my school is VoTech
My school never herd of FIRST until I started talking about it, and i got the team to come in last year for a talk, to about 15 students not including me because i was talking an English final.
I am in the CNAP (Computer Network Administration Program) program its a Microsoft program thats offered in (i think) only 5 other schools in the US.
My school offers no AP classes at all.

Now to the reason my school=STUPID. I am a sophomore, like I said I am the only one from my team at my school, so there is no one to understand when I talk about FIRST or my team. My school has a six day attendance policy, which means if you miss six days in a marking period you fail all of your classes(unless it is for medical reasons etc..) if you miss six days in one marking period you have one chance to get your grades back, you have to not miss a single day for any reason(other than medical etc..). if you don't miss a day you get your old grades back. but one missed day in the next marking period you loose your grades again(unless its a good reason).
Now there hasn't been many people at my school affected by the policy because most have been able to fight the reasons they were out.
Heres where my problem enters.
during the 3rd making period we had two regionals, thats 4 days missed, i had also missed 2 other days because of some problems(i know this could be used against me but i really couldn't go to school and i didn't think the days would hurt me) so there was 6 days now I would have had no problem not missing anymore days the next marking period but Nat's fell right at the start of this (the 4th) marking period. So I couldn't make up the days I missed cause of the regionals.
I did have an agreement with my school to have the days count as a Field trip but because of the war my school district canceled all out of state trips, and there isn't a comp in Delaware, so the agreement was dropped, I had a choice go to Nat's or loose my grades, what would you do? I went to Nat's, came back and I received my report card and I have a 0.0 GPA as of now. I have had talks with the school officials and there is nothing they can/want to do.
The leader of my team has offered to talk to my school, but since the school has to be this bad about a honers student missing school than I don't want to return next year.
I am leaving the school now, I'm going to the school that is about 185yards from my front door and has one other team member there, they have agreed to get my grades from the school I am at this year and use them for next year.

thats my story of why my school=STUPID
Sorry if the story isn't written to well I am sorta upset about having to leave my computer program because it is such a great opportunity for me.
I didn't post this for any one to feel sorry for me or anything, I just had to sorta vent how I feel I also wondered..

Has anyone else had any problems like this from their school?
