I never went to that school!!

True story, happened today.

So I'm a high-school drop out. (I think 🤔 )

I have been taking courses to fix that and today I had to go to my usual adult education school and sign up for my last class with the secretary.

She says -- oh it says here you graduated.
I says -- Nope.
She says -- Yep you did.
I says -- No I didn't.
She says -- Well lets have a look see.

So it turns out they found this credit that was added on to my school records.
Apparently it was manufacturing which is a shop class and it happened in February of 2020. At another school?

I started my adult high school BS in November of 2020. Long after February of 2020.

So I told them I was going to call this school and see if we can settle this. I am a chess player after all and solving the problem is more important than any high school BS.
If I can't solve a problem then I keep at it until it is solved.
That's why I am Holmes and GOAD is Watson.

So I calls em see.

That's my leprechaun accent. It means I'm mad.

This school is only five years old and five years ago I was in prison in another country!
Not only that but this school is designed for Native Americans and people trying to get their life on track. (Well the website made it seem that way)

By this time I have this school on speakerphone and 3 people who work at MY SCHOOL in the office.

...and then it happened... 😔

She says -- oh look! We entered it wrong.
I says -- huh?
She says ‐- ya we entered it wrong. It's supposed to say you did this course in 1997.
I says -- What course?
She says -- The manufacturing course.
I says -- At what school?
She says -- At that school.
I says -- I never went to that school!! I never went to that school!!

I felt like George on Seinfeld. 🤔

I told them I was leaving to solve this riddle and please sign me up for another class. Apparently a high school diploma is based on a certain number of credits and you can even exceed that number.
So now it's biology 🤔 I know my body well after prison so I should do well.

I'm calling that other school again tomorrow to get to the bottom this.

My theory?

My school just wants people to graduate to meet government funding quotas or they don't like ex cons being around 🤔

I assumed it would be easy.
I assumed it would be like geography.
Where you just remember crap.

Oh my pain 😔

(Yes, I'm trying to get you eaten by the hound.)
