No Repeats

The creative writing teacher was talking about this in class last week.
Yet another way that the school system is being screwed up.
Apparently throughout the whole state (or is it the whole country? I'm not sure and I'm too lazy to look it up) students are no longer allowed to retake a college class, unless they fail. They cannot repeat a class.
Which is horrible. Because there are so many classes that rely on a large number of students who return over and over.
Such as our band. We would not have a band if we did not have our musicians returning every semester. If only one-time students were allowed, there would be maybe 7 people in the band. And it would no longer be a band. Although I think we found a way to get around that, fortunately.
Repeats are forbidden for PE classes. And drama. And our creative writing class. In our writing class, we have older students with a lot of writing experience.
I hope people manage to find a way to sneak back into these classes.
the government has no right to stop people from gathering and learning and sharing what they create, whether it be music or writing.
People are paying for these classes. Not everyone retakes a class because they fail. And half the people in some of these classes graduated many many years ago. They take it for the love of the subject, not for credits.
Stop screwing with schools! They've been hurt enough already.
