Hi everyone,
I’m having a tough time deciding on senior year courses. I’m planning on taking AP bio, AP lit, AP calc AB, and either regular spanish or a sociology course. Where it gets tricky is with social studies courses; I need to pick 2 of 3 (AP euro, AP gov & politics, AP econ). The econ teacher is the yearbook director, and I’m an editor so I know him very well. I feel like I should probably take econ so that I can ask him for a recommendation letter, but in truth I’m not very interested in economics. I want to take gov because I think that it’s really useful knowledge to have, and I want to take euro because I’m interested in it. I know at my school euro is a really difficult course though, and it might be overwhelming in combination with all the other classes I’m taking. (I’m taking APUSH this year and I’m not always getting the grades I want). I guess I’m leaning towards taking econ for the recommendation letter (I would also literally have a guaranteed A in econ because the teacher does that for people in yearbook…) but I’m having a really hard time deciding between euro and gov. I want to take both but I don’t have room in my schedule 
Does anyone have any advice? Thanks!
Usually you get a recommendation letter from your junior year teacher because you’ve known them for a year.
I think you should take AP Econ and AP gov, because there is economic policy in gov although not a lot, but you’ll be able to complete both. AP Euro is a lot of work depending on teacher though, and because you aren’t doing too well in APUSH, then stick with the other two SS classes.
Good luck!
Take AP gov, AP Econ, and Spanish. Then, in college, for your History requirement, take European history
