no requirements = no clearance = no graduation

RIP School Survival Forums
August 2001 - June 2017

The School Survival Forums are permanently retired. If you need help with quitting school, unsupportive parents or anything else, there is a list of resources on the Help Page.

If you want to write about your experiences in school, you can write on our blog.

To everyone who joined these forums at some point, and got discouraged by the negativity and left after a while (or even got literally scared off): I'm sorry.

I wasn't good enough at encouraging people to be kinder, and removing people who refuse to be kind. Encouraging people is hard, and removing people creates conflict, and I hate conflict... so that's why I wasn't better at it.

I was a very, very sensitive teen. The atmosphere of this forum as it is now, if it had existed in 1996, would probably have upset me far more than it would have helped.

I can handle quite a lot of negativity and even abuse now, but that isn't the point. I want to help people. I want to help the people who need it the most, and I want to help people like the 1996 version of me.

I'm still figuring out the best way to do that, but as it is now, these forums are doing more harm than good, and I can't keep running them.

Thank you to the few people who have tried to understand my point of view so far. I really, really appreciate you guys. You are beautiful people.

Everyone else: If after everything I've said so far, you still don't understand my motivations, I think it's unlikely that you will. We're just too different. Maybe someday in the future it might make sense, but until then, there's no point in arguing about it. I don't have the time or the energy for arguing anymore. I will focus my time and energy on people who support me, and those who need help.

no requirements = no clearance = no graduation

So yeah, this is my very first post here in this forum. I'm currently studying in a Catholic all-girls school in the Philippines, and we have this no requirements = no clearance = no graduation system in my school. Which means, when you haven't submitted your requirements (school projects, notebooks, quiz records etc.), you won't get cleared. Not getting cleared means no graduation practices. During our graduation practices, if you are still not cleared, you have to complete your requirements somewhere behind the hall where students practice for graduation. If you are still not yet cleared by the day of graduation, you will either a.) get a bond paper as your diploma during graduation (I don't know if this is real or just made up by the teachers to threaten the students or smthn.) or b.) not be allowed to attend the actual graduation ceremony but you will still get your diploma.

And this is getting stressful.

BTW, does the education system in other countries allow this kind of thing?
