[nabs-l] Scheduling

[Sophie Trist]

Lillie, ironically, I had the same dillemma this year. I'm a 
junior in high school and in Algebra II, just like you, and my 
math teacher and the head of our math apartment wanted to take AP 
precalculus. I am NOT a math person, so I wanted to take a 
statistics class. The important thing to realize is that 
ultimately, scheduling is up to you and your parents. If it works 
the same at your school as it does at mine, the teachers cannot 
force you to take anything, especially if it's an upper-level 
class like AP. That said, I do agree with the many people who've 
said that your prospective career determines what class you 
should take. But if your career does not require advanced math 
like calc and trig, go ahead and take the stats class.

Hi everyone
I am scheduling classes for next year. I am in algebra 2 now. The 
powers that be want us to take precalc or trig, which is just 
essentially a watered down version of precalc. I have extremely 
no desire to take either of these courses, and want to take ap 
stats instead. I have the prerequisites for this class. I asked 
my math teacher if I could do this and she said technically I 
could she did not recomend it. My parents are okay with my 
decision. I filled out a form overriding her recomendation and 
although she signed it, she told me that there would be trig in 
stats and I would need it later in life. I am wondering if anyone 
who who has taken stats knows if I am missing anything 
catostrophic by not taking trig? Thanks
