How does one go about asking a teacher to...

<p>...consider teaching an AP class? For next year of course. Should I like, get a list of kids that would take it if it was offered and then ask her if she would think about it?</p>

<p>I think you should just self-study</p>

<p>Maybe you would want to ask her first if it would even be possible assuming there was a lot of support for it. </p>

<p>Getting the list first might be more effective, but it might not be as considerate to the teacher - you might make her have struggle with not wanting to disappoint you guys if you do it that way.</p>

<p>What AP Class is it?</p>

<p>AP Japanese.</p>

<p>My school wasn’t going to offer AP Calc this year, which angered my friends and me because my school offers less than 5 AP’s to begin with. So my friend and I created a list of kids who wanted to take the class (got like 20 names) and gave it to my dean of academics, and now it’s being offered this year. So yeah I’d definitely recommend going down that route</p>

<p>I HATE YOUUUUUUU!</p>

<p>My school was planning on offering AP Calc, and 8 people signed up, and then they said that wasn’t enough people to run a class (even though there are classes in my school with less) and they said they would try and get more people and never even announced that the class was being offered. </p>

<p>Now I’m stuck in pre calc with a chance**** of having AP next year -_-</p>

<p>But for Japanese I can get like 10 kids, which my Jap teacher said would be good, but I know my principal would never allow it because he says the school is too poor to offer good classes.</p>

<p>I would be really careful to make clear that you don’t expect anything; just bring it up casually asking if she would be interested. A lot of times even if a teacher is interested in teaching a class, the choice isn’t up to them, so they often have very little freedom regarding what they do. Definitely talk to teachers and administrators (the ones who actually make these decisions) if it’s something you’re interested in, but although I don’t know your school and it could be really laid back, just keep in mind that there’s a good chance this won’t work out. I don’t mean to be pessimistic, but make sure not to put the teacher in an awkward place by convincing yourself and others that it’s going to happen when you’re still in the primary stages of trying to get this started.</p>

<p>I asked her. She said she would need “at least 8” to consider it, which I’ve gotten. </p>

<p>But then she said the school would need to hire another Japanese teacher because she teaches like 7 classes already xD</p>

<p>So yes, this is 100% not going to work out.</p>
