Girl sues highschool for failing to get her into university.

A FORMER student who is suing Geelong Grammar School says she decided to seek damages after she failed to qualify for her preferred university course.

Rose Ashton-Weir, 18, alleges Geelong Grammar gave her inadequate academic support, particularly in maths.

Seeking compensation in the Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal, she said her final secondary school score was too low to study law at the University of Sydney.

Of her time at Geelong Grammar, she said: ''I didn't ever feel I was getting the support I needed to really excel.''

Her mother, Elizabeth Weir, is also suing the school for lost income and other expenses.

She said she gave up her chocolate fortune cookie business - which she had expected to make $450,000 over three years - because her daughter moved from Geelong to live with her in New South Wales.
She is also seeking compensation for $39,000 in rent paid when they moved to another house in Sydney.

Earlier this week, Ms Weir said the school had known her daughter was gifted and had scored highly in an intelligence test, but struggled in maths.

Who else is suing here?

I'm gonna sue the school I went to because I didn't graduate college.

Sucks to be her.

My friend wanted to take Latin,

The course wasn't offered at our school

He self-studied and made a 5 on the AP exam.

If your school won't provide, provide for yourself.

No sympathy, no excuses.

'merica.

Course, high school math is a joke.

Nothing but silly arithmatic .

If only schools taught children the concept behind the formula, then that student could solve any equation thrown their way, without "tricks," or tedious practice of a variety of different problems that might "show up," on the test.

Finally a story of a dumbass that's trying to sue society for her problems that's not American. Seriously all you foreign snobs are just as stupid and selfish as I am:P

The mother expected her Chocolate fortune cookie business to get her $450,000? I think she should sue her mother for donating her genes. Neither are very bright...The-Apostle

ITT is a terrible place and a scam. The degree there us not really accredited and with much. You probably can be entitled to sue them if they lied to you in order for you to sign on with them.jonathant5

We always need a good laugh.

I could say "lolstralia" but I could see this becoming rampant in the US. Kids and parents feeling entitled is a b*tch.
