Most better colleges make the students retake their humanitites courses (college will not be shortened and they collect their tuition) but some instate colleges do take them. My S’s (a junior) high school does not offer Eng 11 nor 12 Honors so he had no choice but take AP Eng Com and Lit which took/will take a lot of his time that he could use for his other more interesting subjects (sciences and Math)…we are thinking of not letting the second S do it this way. The counselor advised against taking Eng 12 (reg) this fall as the colleges will look at this as slacking off in 12th grade. Any comments?
