What can I do now.

Pre-College Topics High School Life

<p>Well I signed up for AP USH... there are a lot of the normal people in that class so the teachers said it will thin out in a couple of weeks. But my problem is for AP Biology. I made a class change into AP Biology but they wont let me in because the teachers said I needed to have completed Honors Physical Science. But I did normal physical Science. HPS only teaches the basics of simple chemistry which I already know. And I got a high A in PS. The reason I can't do it is because last year my PS teacher hated me because I aced her class easily, and I asked to switch into HPS but she said no even though she knew I understand all the concepts/vocab.</p>

<p>Also they said I need to finish Calculus before I can do AP Computer Science? ***?? How am I going to do good in life if they wont give me the opportunity? All my friends are in harder classes than me and they are not smarter.</p>

<p>AP Computer Science requires no calculus. At all. That’s bull. </p>

<p>And it’s HS, you got a lot of time to do good in life.</p>

<p>Have you consulted your guidance counselor to see if he/she can help you with your AP Bio dilemma. I’m not sure if you’ll be able to do anything about AP computer science.</p>

<p>The thing is my School has no Guidance Counselor. And I already asked my Dean, he said that he can’t do anything about it because the teachers are in control.</p>

<p>This is the staff.

<p>Wow, that’s really messed up. I’m sorry! Go back to your regular PS teacher and talk to her, EXTREMELY politely. That’s what I would do, I guess? Also, MANY MANY freshmen take APCS and they’re able to get 5s on the AP exam. You don’t need calc.</p>

<p>The reason they make all these requirements is because 70% of the class drops out of AP the first week.</p>

7

<p>AP what class?</p>

8

<p>All of them. Except Calculus.</p>

9

<p>Oh wow, but they haven’t even let you try!</p>

10

<p>I think I should Self Study AP Biology. I’m not going to let a teacher stop me.</p>

<p>Does anyone think Self Studying AP Bio would be a good idea for me?
Everything I posted was real BillyMC…</p>

<p>

Didn’t say it wasn’t. Let me take a guess… your friends are only doing one AP?</p>

<p>

If you have a good background in science, are unable to take the class, and will be dedicated to learning the material. Only you can determine that.</p>

<p>I found out I can do AP Computer Science because my dean talked to the teacher about it.</p>

<p>Meh, I can still have fun in normal Biology</p>
