@Swinter...so in other words, currently you have a 100 in every class? Or a 0, if ya think about it.

Yes, last year I had Intro To Media and...had kid(s) in there like you described, and then I later found out I didn`t have to take it for Journalism 2 in 10th grade if I had a teacher rec. Wish I`d known earlier, but I liked the teacher, oh well.

Honors Precalc: Going way better than I expected! Algebra 2 made no sense to me last year and I was set on taking regular Precalc, and was even worried about that, but right before school started switched to honors, and I got a really good teacher. I've understood everything we've done so far, I just have to spend extra time practicing because of my weak background. But all is good, I have a 92.2% right now.

AP Lang: Still really easy. The in class essays are tough, but I just need to get the hang of them. I have a 93.6% right now.

AP Physics B: Very difficult, but fun at the same time. There are some concepts that I still don't get, and anything that is added onto them just confuses me more. However, everything we've done this week has been independent of those concepts, and I've aced both quizzes and finished our homework with ease. I have 53.4% right now, which is a B- on his scale.

AP Psychology: Almost too easy, fun, and interesting. I have about a 104%.

APUSH: Stupidest class ever, not learning anything, teacher sucks, have a 119.4%.

AP English Lit: My teacher is pretty unclear with the assignments but grades harshly.

AP Comp Sci: My teacher takes off a lot of points for small mistakes.

AP Gov: I don't like my teacher, but she's fair.

AP Calc BC: My teacher always yells about how we don't care and will all get 1s on the AP. His tests are also really hard.

Gym: I usually don't like gym, but I do now.

AP Physics: The class is so hard that the average score on the first test was a 40%, and that was AFTER he curved it. Also, we had a test today that I didn't know about.

Japanese: Boring but easy.

APUSH - The essays are killing me. When we get to redo the essays (in other words, I can take an hour or two and go through the book for evidence), I get 8/8.5s. So far my highest score, untimed, sans book, is a 6, which is a 67%. I like the class, but it's so time-consuming to get an A. At least I'm becoming good friends with people in this class.

AP Lang & Comp - Hate it. My best friend is in this class, but my teacher has a *constant* attitude problem and is a bit of a narcissist. Also, everything we've done so far this year has been group work except for vocab, and we actually have a group vocab project we're starting next week. I don't learn much doing group work, and we've only written 1 essay in the class so far. I have a 97% (we have a whole 6 grades, and the quarter ends in a couple of weeks), but I doubt any of us will be prepared for the exam.

Computer Repair - My teacher is extremely redundant and doesn't actually teach us anything. Our school is too poor to supply good computers for us to work on, but nobody even takes the class seriously enough to know what he (well, she for me... I'm the only girl in the class)'s doing and not break the computer. He also expects us to read the textbook, but he gives us a "pre-test" (aka the actual test, but in a different order) to do for homework per chapter, but a lot of kids (maybe 8?) in class still get 15s to 50s on the real test, no lie.

AP Chem - I got 100+ on nearly every test last year in honors chemistry, and I'm getting low 70's this year. The way we "learn" each section is by answering maybe 5 word problems and then going on to the next section the day after. It's not that I don't get the material; it just doesn't click fast enough for me to get a good grade when we have chapter tests weekly. And because there's only 5 of us, my teacher displays more of her un-professional side, and she's a lot more judgmental and rude/mean (sometimes) toward students (and people in general) than she seemed to be last year.

Mic. Apps - Fine. It's a freshman class, but I need to fulfill the requirement, and I don't want to do it next year.

Honors Pre-Calc - I have an 80(?). I've never taken an honors math course before, so I'm fine with that.

Chorus - A lot of drama... and my teacher is only in her mid-20s, so nobody respects her because she's so close to our ages.
