Hey! I’m going to be a sophomore this upcoming school year ,and I got selected to be in Honors English 2 so I signed up for it. But I’m having second thoughts about it. When I was a freshman I took regular English and had and average of 96 at the end of the school year for that class. My teacher said I would do fine in that class and when she used the word “fine” I was like “OMG she doesn’t believe in me or something”. I wanted to take the class because I thought it would challenge me more, but due to the spike in the pandemic I might have to do it at home instead of in class like this past year. So should I take it ?
I think you should take it. If your teacher selected you, that means she truly believes in you and thinks you will succeed. Also, honors courses usually aren’t that much harder than their regular counterparts.
You got a 96 and your teacher selected you. You clearly have the skills and academic level to succeed in Honors English. Don’t curtail yourself (and your future) because of unfounded fears. Go for it !!
Definitely take it. It will challenge you a little more and if you do well it can give your weighted GPA a boost. I wish my daughter had taken more honors courses. I would have encouraged her to do more her freshman and sophomore years if I had realized the difference it would make.
