I have the dilemma to choose now
Due to my spanish one teacher leaving for her baby and the sub having a hard time with my class
On the books i passed with as for spanish 1 but my real knowledge isnt up to par for spanish 2 honors
I have the choice now
Stay in spanish 2 honors and risk running c or d at best maybe b
Or drop down to the academic level and with some effort score a solid B or even a A
My question is what looks better for me as a student overall?
A honors c or d or A academic A or B

I'd try harder and get an A in honors :l
But then again, my school's standards are way low so grades are easy.

Go get a B in Honors. Chances are that it isn't too late.
If you were asking this in December, I would say it is too late. (Assuming classes are only one semester)

Thats the issue
Even if i were to try hard
If i dont have the basic back drop to spanish 1 how am i going to do well in spanish 2?
I have the basic endings and sentence formation down decently
But my vocobulary lacks so badly I cant read half the early textbook sentences
Okay let me put it this way
Me getting a b in honors is a longshot
The first test spanish honors 2 test was a 70 Q.Q

Honors B is an A on regular
Honors C is a C on regular.
Thus, take AP classes.

You learn overtime. Don't worry.

Push real hard for a B.
But it depends on the school.
Some colleges love to see you persevere and challenge yourself even if you're getting C's. Some schools just want to see a clean gpa.
But overall, B in honors is like an A in regular. So try for a B.

Colleges and universities will look more favorably on C of Honors than A of Regulars. Why? They're looking for effort.
In college courses, however, intelligence usually wins over effort.

Wut. Effort is everything in college.

That depends on the rest of your classmates' grades and how difficult your school is overall.

Sucking up to professors and visiting them during office hours. You'll pass even if you fail D:

I don't know about your college, but that would never work at mine.

If you're going to go on to Spanish III AP, then stick with Honors. It definitely helps to prepare you for the AP test, which is super recommended for college.
If you're not, and you don't think you want to put in the effort for a class you're just doing for pre-requisites, you should drop.
Your life will be that much easier.
