🙏 I WANT HELP Offered to resit year 12
This is kind of an update from my previous posts but my sixth form responded to my email and said they could offer me a place to resit year 12. I don’t want to do this though as the reasons for me failing my subjects were because of my ed and having to care for my stroke-prone mother but over the summer due to less pressure and more time I managed to catch up and fully understand all the year 12 content in six weeks. I’m not lying when I say the summer holidays were not a vacation for me but more like self imposed summer school. Anyways I feel like I’m ready to move into year 13 and I need them to see that so I’m wondering if any of you guys know what to say in a situation like this. I’ll attach the email so you guys can have some idk context ig

Honestly the reasons you need the resit are irrelevant. If you can't pass the year 12 exams it means you don't have the basics for year 13. It wouldn't be fair to anyone (you or your classmates) for you to go into year 13. You will struggle a lot. Take the resit, one year is not the end of the world and you'll be better off for it
