<p>I was wondering if anyone knows how a college will look at two A+ (well actully not really because I'm in an alternative program w/o GPA but anyway) classes from the same teacher. My 10th grade chem grade (FE: 97) and my 11th grade physics grade (FE: 99) are both A+'s but they are both from the same teacher. Will colleges become skeptical because having chem and physics with the same teacher is strange or not? I doubt it, but I wondered if you had any thoughts. These are the hardest levels of these classes offered, except for the APs, which are senior year only. Next year I am taking Physics C. My GPA (if I had one) would be about 3.6, though 3.75 after freshman year, (A+'s are figured as a 4.4, A is a 4.0).</p>
<p>??? How do they even tell what teacher teaches what subject?</p>
<p>My Honors World Lit, AP US Hist, and AP Lit & Comp teacher gave me all As...and I had the same teacher for AP Calc AB, Calc BC, and Programming (all As)...and I had the same teacher for Geography and British Lit (all As)...etc.</p>
<p>I don't see anything wrong with the same teacher giving you two A+'s, so long as you earned them.</p>
<p>Having a teacher for 2 years can be a good thing, especially if you want to ask them to write a rec. letter for you. </p>
<p>At any rate, it isn't weird. In high school I had the same spanish teacher for 3 years, 2 math teachers (each for 2 years), and the same english teacher for 2 years. While chem and physics from the same teacher might be slightly less common, no one will care.</p>
<p>paranoid much? I dont think you have anything to worry about.</p>
<p>Don't worry about it. My high school had only one teacher who taught college-prep science, so I had her for all four years. She was excellent. </p>
<p>How many teachers you have doesn't matter. How well they teach and how well you learn does.</p>
<p>By the time I finish school, I will have had chemistry and physics from the same teacher! I have also had physical science with this teacher. I will have learned Algebra I and II, Geometry, Advanced Math, and CP Calc (all the math I have taken in HS) all from the same teacher. I will have had Psychology, Sociology, and World History from the same (insufferable) teacher. I have had 5 Social Studies/History classes from the same teacher. I will have 3 Economics classes with the same teacher. All 3 years of Spanish are taught by the same teacher. I have only has 2 years with the same English teacher (although I did have him in 7th and 8th grade).<br>
Wow, this really turned into a long list. I guess my point is that it's no big deal. I consistently have the same teachers for class after class.</p>
<p>I'm in an alternative program so the name shows up on the report card, we actully get full evaluations. I dunno, I just though it was weird given there aren't that many grades like that on it. I hope to get a rec from him but he's leaving the ditstrict so I'll have to chase him down.</p>
<p>your school shouldnt be reporting teacher's name on the transcript, and they probably arent.
I had the same teacher at the same time for AP Stats and AP Psych.. it worked out great, i got to know her really well and she wrote a great rec. If anything, two teachers at same time gives you a better opportunity to get a good rec.</p>
<p>They show the name on the transcript, I know it for a fact. The form is: Class Name ________
Teacher __________
Course Description _____________</p>

<p>E is like an A, G is like a B, S is like a C/D and U is like an F.</p>

<p>No, that's the way it shows up on YOUR REPORT CARD
NOT the way it shows up to colleges</p>
<p>At this school it actully does show up that way. I'm telling you, I know, we put the transcripts together. I have my sophmore year one sitting around here somewhere. The transcript has those evaluations as well as a "student statement," community serivce evaluation, and internship evaluation.</p>

<p>Given that you're in an alternative program, which*I would imagine to be fairly small, I don't think it would be that unusual - if they even notice. I wouldn't think they're going to scrutinize it that closely. Actually, even in my mainstream high school of 1400 students, the teacher I will have for chemistry next year also teaches physics at my school - only by purely random scheduling did I not have him for both. I would, in your place, just be concerned that it's hard to compare you to an applicant who has traditional grades.</p>
<p>Yeah my school has been around for 30 years so it's pretty well known by the colleges. We also do SATs and everything like everyone else. We are small 70 students though we are growing to 85 next year. (The class of 2006 will only be 19 though).</p>
<p>Those reps will not have the time to compare teachers believe me, you are fine!</p>
<p>Well except that on my chemistry eval it says, "I'm really glad to have Andrew in my Physics class next year!"</p>
