<p>i'm in an honors history class & the teacher just gives a pile of work in the beginning of the class & says "start this now, & finish it for homework." nobody does any of it in the class & socializes the whole time & she doesn't care at all.</p>
<p>i'm also in french 2 & the lady is old & has no clue what she's doing & we can basically do whatever in this class too.</p>
<p>& my honors biology class is reallyy easy to keep up with & understand.</p>
<p>honors english is just a so-so type of class. not too easy, not too hard.</p>
<p>math is the hardest because i'm a freshman doing algebra 2 & trig honors. it's not insane though.</p>
<p>& then i have a computer & gym class.</p>
<p>does anyone else have a schedule that's pretty easy like this? my mom thinks i have a "hard & tough workload" where i feel like i can just do all my homework in all my classes. </p>
<p>does anyone get their homework done in other classes also? i'm just wonderingg.</p>
<p>Sometimes we'll get work in class to do in class, and then since our periods are so long ('bout 90 minutes), if the teacher has accomplished everything they feel they need to for the day they'll tell us "Once you've completed all of this you can work on assignments from another class."</p>
<p>It used to be like that at my old school, but my current school district is much harder. </p>
<p>Regular classes are a joke, for Honors classes it really depends on the teacher, but you have an option of taking Honors classes a year ahead of what you should be...if you do this, it is harder because you are expected to be a "good student," AP Classes are just plain hard---lots of work, hard tests. </p>
<p>So even though there are only three class levels, it really goes like this in terms of increasing difficulty:
So its kind of
Regular
Honors
Honors one grade level ahead
AP</p>
<p>My Honors Biology class was a joke too. The teacher would ramble off topic; say contradicting, illogical, or nonsensical things (he made up words on a regular basis); and, if you were studying on your own and asked him a question, he would either tell you to read the book more carefully, ask him at another time, or not address the question at all. He would give little or no homework for a couple of weeks, and then he would give a crazy amount of it or an assignment that was pointless. (We once had to collect moss during a very hot, dry spell, and moss only grows in moist, cool conditions. He even said that it wasn't likely we would find moss in our area. After we brought it in, we didn't even use it.) Also, all the counselors knew he was a horrible teacher, but whenever the principal walked in, he would stop going off topic and actually teach a little.</p>

<p>The ones at my school aren't very hard. I mean, I usually get an hour of homework per night from AP Physics and AP Calc each, but the concepts aren't very hard and neither are the tests. </p>
<p>AP Lang is alot of work, but pretty easy. Same with microecon.</p>
<p>And my AP Human Geo class is a COMPLETE joke - if you want an easy GPA booster, take it.</p>
<p>Yes, Word Processing, and the teacher is so concerned with covering her own *** that she won't even bend one tiny rule to help make life easier for some people. Argh, people like that make me ill.</p>
<p>^^ i went to a catholic school for 7 years. religion class was complete torture. i love god and all, but all we did was sit down and be told what our opinions should be. i objected when the teacher said "animals can't think," which was not a good decision on my behalf. my old religion teacher would be happy to know that i am now a vegetarian going to a quaker school :)</p>
<p>sorry for going off topic. yea, i had tons of joke classes my freshman year. which is why i made up challenges of my own, like how to twirl a pen.</p>
<p>my post was meant in response to pramirez184. can anybody tell me how to do that reply thing where it quotes a previous message? i haven't been able to figure it out.</p>
<p>well I guess I can't talk for math/science APs as I haven't taken any yet, but history requires a lot of additional reading, essays, etc. and Lang/Lit APs are known as THE hardest classes in my school.</p>
<p>"Manufacturing Systems" and "Sports Marketing" i just slept through and got 95's - im serious, I just slept for 3 hours everyday through them. Caught up on my sleep at least</p>
<p>Required classes like Health, Economics, or this one about current events are usually incredible easy/require no work in my school. Also a lot of the semester-long science classes like Forensics, Bioethics and Astronomy are known to be ridiculously easy.</p>
