<p>Haha, ya, I wish you were right, but I’ve talked to people who have taken that class. I seriously think I’m going to flip a coin before school tomorrow lol</p>
<p>OMG. I feel your pain man! I have a similar AP English Lang class. She couldn’t stop stressing how hard the class was going to be. She even said that people who are used to getting 90s and 100s in regular and honors classes are going to end up with 60s and 70s initially! And tomorrow she’s giving us a pop previous ap essay [3rd day of school] We haven’t even talked about how to write them or literary terms or anything ap english style-wise. All she said that it was essay where you have to defend, qualify, or argue against a quote. </p>
<p>I guess we’ll see how it goes tomorrow. 
Hope you make the right decision [btw, is there an honors english class in your school?..how abt trying that out if you choose to drop? :)]</p>
<p>Thanks:) I hope so too, and I hope everything works out with you. Right now, I’m thinking I am going to drop(sigh). It’s all in my best interest. Unfortunately there isn’t an honors class:/ Haha, if it weren’t for the fact that you have only started school, I would seriously think you were in my class. O well, let’s hope it all ends up favorably for us:)</p>
<p>DO NOT DROP.
Peer pressure!!!</p>
<p>Aghh! I don’t need any more peer pressure! lol</p>
<p>Seems to me the teacher’s personality is a big part of the question. An F on the first test of the year, for someone who’s been getting A’s? Strikes me as odd. Is it clear why you failed? Will she help you learn or will she obstruct your learning. The senior AP English teacher at D’s school is very free with her F’s-- she’s into her power, not into teaching English. My D won’t be taking that class. Luckily there are rigorous alternatives-- your choices might be more limited. But-- do you trust this teacher? Do others? Can your parents talk to her, and get a sense? If you think she is honestly interested in her students, in helping them learn–then don’t drop. A good teacher plus a good student should make for a good AP score. If she’s just on a power trip, get out while the getting’s good.</p>
<p>why…</p>
<p>I think you should stay. if you drop, you’re going to look quite weak. Even if you get a C, so what? If it’s like my school, it’d probably be weighted to an A. Besides, there oiis often a big gap in the level of student interest between AP aND Honors/regulars. If you can handle students who don’t care than drop, if not than suck it up and stay.</p>
<p>Besides, what if everyone in the class, thanks to your teacher’s rigorous teaching get’s 4/5 than what are you going to say?</p>
<p>I just dropped guys:/ It’s a bitter sweet moment, but I ultimately did it to maintain my GPA and to enable me to sleep. If I got a C I would have hated myself for not dropping. I think she is a good teacher and previous classes have gotten 5’s on the exam, but I honestly don’t think I would have had time to devote to that class. I didn’t want my other grades to suffer due to AP Lang. Overall, I feel like I’ve learned something from this experience, and now look forward to the rest of the year. Thanks for all of the support and comments guys!:)</p>
<p>Lame .</p>
<p>Don’t tell that to us on CC.</p>
<p>Haha, I’ll survive:)</p>
<p>dropping was a good idea. colleges don’t care about weighting anyway. yes, they do consider rigor of classes…WHEN THEY’RE TRYING TO DIFFERENTIATE BETWEEN “A” STUDENTS. the B student apps are already in the trash.</p>
