<p>I want to drop honors English 10 because of the immense amount of work my teacher gives me. I also have a B in the class which is unacceptable for me. I heard the teacher gives more homework than ap classes. However the teacher is really good and will make a better writer etc. I am interested in a STEM major and I'm already taking math analysis ap Bio ap world history and Spanish 4 honors. Should I drop it if I'm interested in competitive polytechnic school such as vt and gt and also uva? Thanks </p>
<p>Granted, doesn’t exactly apply in this case. First, a B might be unacceptable to you but it’s something you won’t be able to avoid in your life. Get over it. Second, if you drop honors English because the teacher is a harsh grader/assigns a lot of work, colleges are going to look at that (and I had kids in my class last year do the same) as you taking the easy way out. They know.</p>
<p>Thirdly, if your English teacher is going to make you into a great writer or help you realize your writing potential, you must be out of your mind to turn that down. I know a lot of people who whined and cried because our English teacher gave them C’s on all of their essays, but I also know people who took his advice and turned their grades around into A’s instead of moaning and groaning and finding a way to switch out.</p>
<p>You have some great points and I am most likely going to stick with it. I’ve never quit anything in my life especially in the middle of it. Thanks </p>
