Which class to take independently?
I am going to be junior in high school next year. I have finished pre-calculus and am going into calculus. Due to a lot of scheduling problems, I have to choose between taking honors English or calc. I have the option, however, to take calc. online or I could do English independently and meet with the teacher during the week. English will be hard because I will miss out on class discussions, while learning calculus independently will be just as hard. What would you recommend me do?

Which course do you feel the most comfortable? It’s really your choice and your decision. It sounds like you are a whiz in mathematics. So, you may want to take Calculus online and take Honors English face-to-face in a classroom setting. I taught Honors English 11 this past school year, and personally, I wouldn’t recommend taking this class as an independent study course unless you don’t need instruction and can literally teach yourself; further, you will be required to read a tremendous amount of literature on an accelerated level together with writing many different types of essays or compositions and of course, the all-important research paper along with grammar and vocabulary. Junior Honors English is very comprehensive and requires many hours of work, both in and out of the classroom. So, I would recommend taking calculus online and taking Honors English in a face-to-face classroom setting (not online or independent study). Good luck!

I say take calc independently because you can have more one on one time with the teacher just in case you have a question they’ll be there to answer it.
And you should do English with the rest of the class, because other people’s imput on… say a certain story, I think is important. Just so that you get other views on stories and stuff.
