Spanish 3 Honors vs. Dropping down to Cp

Pre-College Issues High School Life

<p>Okay I am at the point where i can't make this decision by myself. I really don't find spanish all that interesting. I am not that bad at it either. (B+ in Spanish 2 CP <no honors=""> ) So i was placed in the honros level of Spanish 3.</no></p>

<p>The problem is I don't feel like putting that much effort into that class. i have other classes to worry about. ( I screwed up freshman year) The teacher is known for being very difficult, yet at the same time she is fun. But the whole class requires utmost concentration, focus, motivation etc. tot get an A. ( on my part) </p>

<p>But by dropping down to CP what problems will I face. I plan on stopping at Spanish 4 as a junior. (NO AP SPANISH) Will colleges not see that i did 4 years of a foreign language? Will i be looked down upon by not taking honors? See if i drop now it is impossible to get back to honors in Spanish 4. </p>

<ul>
<li>Moreover we have weighted GPA's ... so if i screw up and get a B in honors that won't be bad a s a B in CP....</li>
</ul>

<p>With all these factors what should I do.... I have to do well my sophmore year... and Spanish 3 honors requires alot of EFFORT</p>

<p>UHHH HELP :(</p>

<p>I would NOT drop to CP. Sophomore is not that hard, and you really should put some effort into your classes.</p>

3

<p>Go Spanish CP...the 4 years isn't even important (it's as good as 3 years), and plus, not everyone is good as honors in language...</p>

<p>Invest your time in other areas that you enjoy doing.</p>

<p>^ Don't listen to Invoyabull :] I think you would find it worth your while to stick with honors and not be bored out of your mind in CP.</p>

<p>I'mviagra, you don't know what you're talking about. ;)</p>

<p>This girl/guy doesn't enjoy spanish that much. It's not as if she/he's dropping spanish altogether but just to a lower level; the title "honors" don't mean anything if he/she has other honors courses. The only reason, from what I see, of his/her hesitation is because it might "look bad" to colleges which is complete bs since it won't matter.</p>

<p>and a complete LMFAO @ how "honors" (think what that word means for a second) level is more "interesting" and "less boring" on the SAME subject...that isn't even worth commenting seriously on. :)</p>

Generally, honors courses move "faster" and "quicker" and "not as slowly" as a CP class, so that's .. maybe .. why they're more "interesting" and "less boring" than the "SAME" subject ;]
Good try I'mavoyeur
lol I can't even think of anything to make your name into... I suck :[</p>

Then you use the term "boring" and "interesting" in a skewed sense in a way I've never seen it happen, or in the conventional ways of the definition "boring" and "interesting". If you do 5 pages a night instead of 1 page a night, of the EXACT same material, then suddenly it becomes interesting? That's called you want more work, not "more interesting", unless somehow...more interesting to you means "I want more work and faster pace with the same stuff".</p>

<p>If person A hates factor X, then he hates it regardless of how fast factor X is learned...if you hate bio (like I do) it won't get interesting because I do more pages a night. I don't get what you're saying here...</p>

<p>Most honors courses [that I'm familiar with anyway] don't actually assign you crap work like "5 pages a night instead of 1 page a night," but are more discussion based, stuff like that. Which makes it more interesting. IMO anyway :]
edit - also, the courses are FASTER because of this lack of crap work. That's kind of what I was trying to get at, although I kind of failed lol.</p>

<p>lololol, the respective difficulties and interest levels of honors and CP are wholly contingent upon what school he attends and what teachers he has. In my experience, the "better (more proficient in the subject matter)," more dedicated teachers are assigned to the higher level courses, and the worse to the lower, thus drastically altering the entire class structure for each variation of each particular course... why is this question being asked even? How are we to know how to perform whatever cost/benefit analysis the OP wants us to perform? Ugh, and why are you 2 even bickering? :p</p>

<p>Yes, taking a regular course instead of an accelerated won't make or break you for college -- they tend to evaluate holistically though, so don't make it a habit...</p>

<p>

Well, there's practically a law that I'mavoyeur and I have to argue.. and call each other silly names :]</p>

11

<p>Sorry, I agree with Invoyable. Spend your time on what you're interested in.</p>

<p>Actually, I would probably continue with honors, because in most schools, honors is a meaningless term, and it'd be inconvenient to switch out now.</p>

Because I'm bored.</p>

<p>^Yes, a perfectly logical reason.</p>

Which is precisely the reason allll of us are on CC in the first place, lol.</p>

15

<p>actually i generally already find "SPANISH" boring as a whole.</p>

<p>So what you are saying is by dropping down to CP and taking all 4 years of CP Spanish won't hurt my chances at competitive colleges?</p>

16

<p>No, not really. And taking 3 years won't hurt, either. Don't do something just for colleges.</p>

17

<p>^well they weren't like three consecutive years... i took spanish 1 in 8th grade.</p>

<p>so is that still three years</p>
