I'm glad your post has gotten some good attention. I've been unable to check in here for a few days. Unlike my teacher colleagues so far, I actually HAVE seen this at least once before. It's fixable. You don't have to completely start from scratch but you are going to have to rework some fundamental things patiently over some time. Definitely worth doing, and probably won't take as long as you would imagine if done well. It's going to be more about how often you are working on it rather than how long each day. Several short sessions a day as many days as you can over the summer will go a long way. Don't be discouraged or dissuaded!

I am perplexed by your inability to get a sound without the tongue on the reed. Tell us about your set-up. What reeds and mouthpiece are you playing on? Have you tried others? Has your set-up changed significantly from what you started on as a beginner? I'm wondering if there's something unusual there that might be contributing to your issues.

Is your mouthpiece intact? Any chips or dents on the facing (the surfaces that the reed vibrates against)? Post a picture is you aren't sure.

You might want to check out "Clarinet Mentors" on Youtube. Michelle Anderson gives good instruction there. She is great at breaking down the basics in a way that appeals to and helps students of all levels.
