Hey everyone, I need some serious help and could use some second thoughts. I had started with a messed up schedule that needed to be fixed. As a result, all of my classes that I primarily wanted (Calc AB, AP Physics, and AP Comp Sci) could not be fit together. After tweaking, I can’t take Physics and half of the other unimportant classes I wanted to complete my year. I was then given an option to get my dream schedule but at the cost of taking BC Calc instead of AB. I am very math oriented and was originally recommended for it but asked to not be expecting to get a good schedule. Now, I am fighting with my Mother to get my dream schedule and my guidance counselor have given up on convincing her. Should I go for a less happy year with an easier math class or take the ladder half? All opinions are welcome
Additional information: my mom is hesitent due to my mental health. This year there were multiple deaths in my life and had no time to deal with them. As a result, I had to drop a class and take days off to deal with my emotions so mental health is an aspect of this. Im most likely going to end Math this year with an A-. If I don’t take BC I will have to drop Physics and take 2 more electives.
If you’re really good at math, I would just go for it (AP Calc BC). It’s a tough schedule but at my kid’s HS many kids do the Tech 3 (Physics C, Calc BC, Comp Sci A). Actually many of them finish BC as a junior but a fair amount don’t get to BC until 12th.
