<p>Hello. I hope you can help me on a problem I have right now with my school, regarding an AP Bio class.</p>
<p>We have a block schedule (1:30 h per class; thus, 4 classes per day). In 2 days, people have 7 classes, not 8, because every other day they have study hall.
In that study hall period, I volunteered to take AP Bio class (by a non-certified teacher). And, problem is I didn't really think about my grades for that class. I thought my grades wouldn't count, and I wasn't even willing on taking the AP exam. I just wanted to learn something during that time.
We're only 4 of us in the class.
But the school administrator told me he won't take off my grade, and that he'll count it in my GPA.</p>
<p>Can someone please help me make the case that this class shouldn't count in my GPA.
If it counts, it won't just teach me a lesson for making a mistake, but it will destroy my future. I have a C in that class. </p>
<p>Example Argument: Shouldn't AP classes be counted in GPA only if they are real classes, not electives, as in this case?</p>
<p>Please help me.</p>
<p>I don’t really want to be that guy, but you’re probably not going to win that fight. If you had gotten an A you would be making the reverse argument fighting for it to be in your gpa. idk what to tell you but a C won’t destroy your future …</p>
<p>Come on, please. I’m desperate, here. There must be something. </p>
<p>I mean none of us even took the AP Bio exam. It’s a failure. No one has above a C. </p>
<p>Any argument will suffice. Please.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Uh don’t even try that one. Getting one C will NOT at ALL on ANY LEVEL destroy your future. </p>
<p>You should’ve asked when you signed up for the class if it was going to be counted on your GPA; if they said at first it wasn’t, and now they changed their tune, then yes, that’s a relevant argument, but if you never asked, then you’re at fault. </p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Technically, AP classes at my schools are counted as electives, because they aren’t required classes, even science, math, english, and history AP’s. They are on our GPA’s too.</p>
<p>Your best bet is to say that the teacher isn’t certified (if that really is the case). The class can only count if you had an approved AP syllabus. </p>
<p>If the class is legit, I think you are out of luck. You can explain away one C, though. It’s not the end of the world.</p>
