Hey guys! This question is for parents of older children and older gymnasts. I'm a sophomore in high school and I've already signed up for my classes for next year, but it's time to think about what I'm going to take senior year.
The problem is that I want to take British Literature (Honors) senior year, because apparently you learn how to read Ye Olde Time English and you get to read stuff like Beowulf. However, I'd also be taking AP English, and that wouldn't leave time for a science class (at this point there's only one science class I won't have taken, and that's physics). Here are my questions:
-Is it a good idea to take physics in high school? I'll have 4 years of science even if I don't take any science classes senior year, and I don't really think I'll be going into science (social science, maybe).
-Is the essay load for two advanced English classes too much?
-How many AP classes is generally too many? I.E., an overload that winds up hindering success.
-Is calculus as scary as it sounds? The two things in life that are scarier to me than competing beam are calculus and physics.
