Eleventh grade students pick their electives toward the ends of February and they are feeling the stress since it is the last time that they pick electives for high school.

Leaving school is beginning to pressure students since they understand that they need to deliberately pick the classes that may be beneficial for their future and some are concerned on the grounds that they don’t know what to do with their lives after high school is over in under eighteen months.

Choosing the electives

Picking electives for upperclassmen is vital on the grounds that they need to choose courses that will be beneficial for their future and ideally give them AP college credits. With this in mind administration didn’t give students enough time to settle on a decent choices and numerous students lament their decisions.

“It’s always life a very hard job because they give us so little time for a decision that is going to affect us for  the next year and probably  in college because the classes that we take right now are either going to help us or not,” Tatiana Botero, 11th grade student, said.

Students were given an overview with the greater part of the classes and seven days to pick the electives; they were offered practically no information about the courses that they are picking and this made it hard for students in light of the fact that numerous end up thinking twice about it.

“The school should try to give us a little more information because they are not sure about many of the teachers and that is an important factor when choosing the class because the teacher is one of the most important thing,s” Botero added.

Why will it be beneficial?

AP courses are optional classes that schools offer which are college level and taking the exam in May will decide whether they get future college credits. Picking this courses can be extremely distressing, now and then parents pressure their children into picking an AP course or into picking something in the path that parents need their kids to take.

“Choosing electives I knew what I wanted to take but still it was very hard and stressful but also like having my parents telling me every single day has been very stressful,” Juana Pardo, 11th grade student, said.

Despite the fact that AP courses can be to a great degree hard and have an overwhelming workload, students that take them wind up experts over their different colleagues in specific points emphasized in the class. Taking an AP course can be stressful for students on the grounds that numerous lament the decision of going into a class with an alternate workload and level than the rest. Despite the fact that it is heavier and harder students will be profited by this classes and as said before might even get college credits.

“For the upcoming year I chose AP Calculus BC and AP Human Geography since I want to study abroad and these classes will be extremely advantageous for when I begin school and I as of now have these credits,” Sofia Barros, 11th grader, said.

Students now are feeling pretty confident with their decisions after another survey was enabled for them to switch classes if they changed their minds.

“I was thinking twice about picking AP Calculus BC, yet in the wake of giving it another thought I chose not to change classes, since I knew it would work for me. Today I am feeling exceptionally sure of my decision and somewhat apprehensive about setting off to my senior year of secondary school,” Barros said.
