<p>I think you’d probably be fine taking a regular English class, in fact, if I were you I’d try to sign up for whatever class is being taught by the best English teacher and/or whatever class has the most interesting reading. In general I found that a great teacher could make even so-so reading interesting. There’s a small risk that you will change your mind about how high to aim for colleges, and that some college might ding you for not taking the most rigorous curriculum available to you as a senior, but I’m inclined to think that it will be all right having done one AP level English course, to skip the other. My son didn’t even take honors English as a senior because of a scheduling issue and got into some great schools.</p>
