<p>^Kiss granny on the cheek and tell her you are going to give it your best shot. Really, you don’t have to make everyone else in the picture happy here. If it doesn’t go well, drop as soon as you realize there is an issue and carry on. All you can do is do the best you can. </p>
<p>Both of my kids did what you are planning to do. I think it’s a good idea, as long as (a) the rest of your schedule is not too demanding, and (b) you know what you will do senior year when you run out of math classes to take at your highschool. (My oldest D was honestly panicking at the fact that she might have to take higher-level calc her senior year, since she hated pre-calc with a passion. Luckily her school added AP Statistics that year, so she’ll be taking that instead.)</p>
<p>Be aware that there will probably be a LOT of homework, since you are cramming two years of math into one. Also be aware that for many people, it’s either Geometry or Algebra that they find intuitive, not often both. My oldest D, again, loved Geometry and was soooo miserable at having to return to Algebra again after Christmas. But younger D enjoyed both. Don’t be surprised if you find yourself having unexpected trouble with one of these subjects over the other – and if you do, work on getting some tutoring help as soon as possible!</p>
<p>And if your grandma loves you, she will understand that you are doing what you feel is best for you.</p>
<p>Why wont you be taking Honors Bio? Will you be taking regular bio? why?</p>
<p>@mom2collegekids My old school didn’t have Honors Science, so I wasn’t allowed into Honors Bio at the high school 
I’ll have to take regular bio instead, and I might not be able to take Honors Chem or Physics because of it. I did try to get in, but the school system is biased towards people who went to their middle school.</p>
<p>If you really like math and like challenges, then take both classes. Did you do Mathcounts? If so, how did you do? Go to MAA.org or artofproblemsolving.com and see if you can find old AMC problems. Solve them for kicks. If you find those problems fun, you’ll probably do fine with both classes. Aops also offers math classes - they probably won’t solve your dilemma but you may like taking them as well.</p>
