<p>I’m going to this summer program and I have the option to take two classes. I’m already taking French and Speech and Debate, but I’m considering changing Speech and Debate to Geometry so I could start Algebra II in the fall. I’m in 8th grade and in algebra 1 right now and I don’t like it at all. Should I just stick with speech and debate or should I take geometry so I can get ahead?</p>
<p>Are you very passionate about speech and debate? From what I know about you Jon, I’d say yes. Therefore, take Speech and Debate. You should excel in the area that you are most passionate about.</p>
<p>If I’m wrong, just consider this post a bump. :D</p>
<p>I’ve never formally participated in speech and debate because my school doesn’t offer it. I like to debate for fun, though. :)</p>
<p>There’s no need to take geometry over the summer. You’re on the same track I’m on, and you’ll get to Calc by senior year if your school offers a Alg 2 Trig course (do they?). Take speech and debate.</p>
<p>Yeah, the sequence for me would be Geometry – Algebra II – Analysis Accelerated (pretty much pre-calc/trig.) – AP Calc AB</p>
<p>you dont like algebra 1? you should get used to it, its a large component of geometry, precalc(to a larger extent) and even calculus.</p>
<p>I would do speech/debate. You probably don’t like math that much if you didn’t like algebra and it would make your summer miserable.</p>
<p>I would go with Speech and Debate</p>
<p>I love it :D</p>
<p>Can’t stand math… but somehow I finished pre-calc in 9th grade XD</p>
<p>But I would say do what you think would be the most fun. Summer is a time to relax ;)</p>
