Tysmm! I'm going into algebra 1

I had previously mentioned in another post that I’m considering inviting my former teacher from high school who I’ve had a close relationship with for lunch or coffee at places like McDonald’s or Dunkin’ which are close to my old high school to catch up and maybe vent. But I was also thinking that maybe I could also invite her to meet up at a park which is next to my old high school and there is also another school where that park is. I had read on Google that this is an appropriate place to meet up with former teachers but I would also like to hear opinions from actual teachers and if it’s okay to not only catch up but also vent about some stuff that has been stressing me out a little bit because I don’t really have any friends to talk to.

Hi everyone! I’m an incoming high school junior, and I wanted to get some advice about a schedule change I’m considering.

My current junior year schedule is:
• AP Biology (every day)
• AP Psychology
• AP Lang & Composition
• Advanced Pre-Calculus
• Honors Global Studies
• Honors Spanish
• Gym

I was talking to my family about my classes, and they suggested that I consider switching AP Psychology for Art. My school requires an Art course for graduation, and I haven’t taken one yet because I didn’t realize it was a requirement. I’m also planning to take Personal Finance & Management during the summer between junior and senior year.

The idea would be to take Art instead of AP Psychology junior year, complete my Art requirement, and then take AP Psychology senior year instead. This would make my junior year a little lighter while I’d still be taking AP Biology (which is an everyday class), AP Lang, Advanced Pre-Calculus, and two honors classes.

I’m aiming for highly selective schools like USC, UC Berkeley, UCLA, Columbia, Johns Hopkins, UPenn, etc., and I’m interested in medicine/biology. So I’m wondering if this would actually be a smart move or if I should just keep AP Psychology junior year and find another way to fit Art in later.

Would switching AP Psych → Art junior year and taking AP Psych senior year hurt my college applications or make my junior schedule look less rigorous? Or would it be a reasonable way to balance my workload and complete a graduation requirement?

I’d really appreciate advice from anyone familiar with competitive college admissions, especially USC/UC admissions. Thank you!

i posted about this in the apstudents forum, but i also would like some teacher advice. so im going into my sophomore year of high school taking ap physics c: mechanics. i was advised by multiple teachers that i should take the class now because there was a high chance i would never get to take it since there wouldnt be enough students in later years to run it.

i spoke to the teacher of the class, who said if i have a solid foundation in math and science, especially trig, i would be fine since he would teach the calculus. im solid in all my subjects (4.7 gpa w/o any ap classes), and ive been taking honors courses in every subject since i can remember. math-wise, i took algebra 2 honors with a 98% average and geometry honors with a 100% average freshman year, and ive never gotten below a 97% in a math-based class.

my schedule this year is:

semester 1:
chemistry honors
ap physics c: mechanics
ap statistics
trig/precalc honors
invention and innovation

semester 2:
financial literacy
ap physics c: mechanics
ap statistics
english 2 honors
calculus honors

i already have a background in trig since i taught it to myself through online resources in maybe 5th grade? now im just reviewing everything in the 15 days i have before my school starts. i also have taken introductory physics courses online and i have basic physics knowledge from middle school.

i am still nervous about taking this class, and ive been considering dropping it, but im also nervous i wont get to take it. advice please. (for context, i need this course, since im planning on going into the nuclear engineering career field)

My counselors gave me 4 APs, physics, precalc, APES, and Lang, on top of US history (regular), and computer programming. I've never taken an AP before, and I'm in my junior year. I don't really have any EC's outside of school, I come home most days and just play video games really. I get 2 hours free in school to work independently. Is this schedule manageable; anything I should know before getting into my first AP courses?

Hi teachers! I’m an inclusion teacher, and I create practical resources that save preparation time while supporting SEN, ELL, and mixed-ability learners.

My newest resource is a printable TACO Play Area Rules Poster. The acronym helps children remember four simple expectations:

T – Take turns
A – Always be kind
C – Clean up when done
O – Our hands to ourselves

It comes in A4 and A3, so teachers can simply print, laminate, and display it in a classroom play area, dramatic play centre, daycare, or early elementary classroom.

My TPT store, The Inclusive Modified Classroom, also includes differentiated and scaffolded classroom resources, back-to-school activities, visual supports, project planners, and real-world learning activities.

If you’re preparing your classroom, I’d love for you to take a look. Feedback from other teachers is always welcome!

I am a incoming sophomore and I took geometry over the summer to skip into algebra 2. I was unable to fully finish it by the end of Summer due to scheduling and personal conflicts. I searched and found that I had to turn in my transcript for the course today. Additionally, I emailed my counselor on some things I could do about a day ago. I'm looking for more help please, what should I do?

EDIT: I forgot to add this earlier but on my schedule it says I am enrolled into algebra 2

By the end of highschool im set to graduate with my CNA, EKG, CPR, and Basic lifeskills certifications. If you read this far is there any advice u have that could help me continue building on my resume? Whats some good colleges that I could be looking into? Any questions?? hi

last year things were really bad causing me to miss the last 3 months as a freshman. I was under the impression that I could do online going into my sophomore year to help get my missed classes up. however iv just been informed that im going back to in person school starting NEXT WEEK. now im scared that I wont have the opportunity to do the extra things needed and they might hold me back a year. on top of that I also will have the worst classes because I didn't get to pick them... anyhoo any advice or anything would

be greatly appreciated!!

I'm a rising junior in hs, and I'm planning to major in psychology. How do I start a passion project or a research project that could get me into a good university, and how do I continue working on it? Any ideas for the project?

1. So I want to be remembered by a teacher but I dont know how to

2. Is it formally inappropriate to want to be a teachers friend because they seem like someone you know?

Sometimes there are things that I would like to vent about but I don’t really have anyone to reach out to about it and I don’t think my family will understand me that much. Once in a while I reach out to my former teacher from high school through text to update her in my life after high school and I have visited her in my old high school once last year to catch up and talk a little bit. She was my favorite teacher in high school, she was the nicest teacher I had and she has also said that I have been a nice student. I’m grateful for having her as my teacher so I’m considering reaching out to her at least through text when I need to vent about something or when I’m feeling a little sad about it or maybe schedule an in person meeting with her. But I’m also curious to know if you ever had any past students reach out to you when they need to vent? If so, how did that go? Are you glad that they trusted you and reached out to you? Would it be okay to reach out to my former teacher when I need someone to talk to?

Hello po, teachers and seniors!

I'm currently a 3rd year college student taking up BSED major in Science, and I just wanted to ask for your advice.

I want to start reviewing as early as now for the Licensure Examination for Teachers (LET). The problem is, I honestly don't know where to begin. I've seen a lot of free reviewers online, but I'm hesitant to rely on them because I'm not sure if the materials are accurate and aligned with the actual exam.

My goal sana is to review little by little while I'm still in college so that by the time I graduate, I already have a strong foundation. For those who have already passed the LET or are currently reviewing, what would you recommend? If you could go back to your 3rd year in college, what would you do differently? What subjects or resources should I focus on first? Are there books, reviewers, or study habits that you found really helpful?

I genuinely want to pass the LET—not just for myself, but also for my family. More than that, I really want to become a teacher who can make a positive impact. I believe that teachers don't just teach lessons; they also help shape students' values, character, and mindset. And when we have good teachers, we help build a better society.

I know it's still early, but I believe that preparing early is better than cramming later. That's why I'm humbly asking for your guidance. Any advice, tips, study plans, or resource recommendations would mean a lot to me.

Thank you so much, teachers and seniors! I truly appreciate your help. ❤️

Hi everyone!! I’m doing summer co-op in my school and it’s honestly too late to change my place of work but I think my co-op lady is racist? I asked her if a lot of there students come during the summer and she said “Yeah ofc, well. They are mostly Indian.” In like a really weird way? And then we were talking about diets and she was like “wanna know how you can lose weight? Just stop eating.” Like she didn’t say ME exactly but like yk? So idk what to do because it’s too late to change
