How can you miss four years of school?

Man. I didn't think anyone could beat that month I missed in middle school. Guess I was wrong.

Most impressive.

And my liver also doesn't function normally, but my doctors haven't figured out why that is. And I didn't miss the four years all at once, mind you.

Did you make it up with homeschooling?

The first two years have been made up for, but not the other two. The Irish schooling system has pretty much nothing in place to support students who have to drop out of school, so getting any courses or anything to do at home is very difficult.

Do they offer any form of equivalency?

Equivalency?

Blanket term for any way of making up for lost schooling, typically by "testing out" of the courses you missed. In America, we have General Educational Development tests, which assess one's knowledge on a variety of school subjects. You don't have to take courses through any formal schools--just get a sufficient grade on the tests. The tests prove that you have the skills required/expected of a high school graduate.

(At least, that's what I assume Sisen was talking about.)

Oh, okay. I'm pretty sure there isn't anything like that here.

Yeah, I learned about a 504 Plan here in the U.S., which has helped a lot (seeing as there is nothing like that in Venezuela or in Colombia).

It sucks that you have to make all of that stuff up, but what matters is we're here for you to brighten up the way.

Also to take away your sanity.

But that's mostly Sumiki's doing.
