Suggestions please:
My D is really struggling with Calc BC. She is going to squeak out a C for semester but knows she isn’t really learning anything. Apparently this is the first year the teacher has ever taught Calc and all the kids are really struggling. She wants to drop it. She asked the GC if she could just switch to Calc AB for 2nd semester but the GC says that isn’t allowed?? If she drops it she will get the C for one semester of Calc BC on her transcript - and then will need to fill the 2nd semester with something else. She is already taking AP Stats, AP Eng Lit, AP Psychology, Spanish 2, Personal Finance, and honors Medical Interventions.
So here are her options - what do you recommend:
A) Stick with Calc BC and likely have a C for both semesters and lots of stress
B) Drop it and take a study hall or Teacher Assistant (no grade)
C) Drop it and take a blow off class (easy A)
D) Drop it and take a harder elective (single semester of something…I need to check the course guide - A/B with more work)
E) Drop it and try and get into the Gifted class (honors option - some work but pretty flexible - gonna have to get this approved by lots of people as this is a pretty non-standard request)
OR - do whatever cause colleges really don’t care
