I kinda have a problem with my senior year schedule... I signed up for both AP Calculus and Speech and Debate, but they're both offered only 3rd period. I was thinking I should go with Speech and Debate, 'cause I think it would benefit me more, considering the career I want to go into. I mean, vocal music teachers don't exactly need to know advanced calculus, right? I DO need to work a lot more on my speaking than I do on my math, and music teachers do a lot more speaking than math. :)
Any thoughts or suggestions?
I could do AP Calculus and be on the school's Speech and Debate team outside of the actual class, but that would just load more homework onto me, making my senior year a lot harder than my junior year (I'll be rather busy as it is without either of the 2 classes, but I do need a class to fill in that empty class period. the problem is I like math, but I really liked speech and debate last year, and I wanted to take it this coming year...).
Help!

It sounds like you've already decided that Speech and Debate would benefit you. Don't kill yourself senior year, because senior year is one of the hardest to get through just because you're so ready to graduate and you feel kind of burnt out. You can take plenty of AP Calculus classes in college. =)

I would go with the Speech & Debate. I think that you are right, that would benefit you more. But think of this. You have all of college to take those kinds of classes. If you take Calc. and pass the AP test with a high enough score, you won't have to do as much math in college and focus more on speech and debate. Hope that helps, good luck and God Bless.

You can take the Calculus class in college. Take the Speech and Debate now. Fewer students go into college really knowing how to handle public speaking and public debate, than those who go in with math skills. Find out how much math you will actually have to take in college to meet your career goals. And be sure to have some fun in your senior year.

I think you should stick with your heart
there are a lot more benefits for you if you stick with speech and debate
it would be good to do math if you could but you can't and you would have more homework and you wouldn't use it as much in real life
if your sure being a music teacher is what you want to do
then stick to it and do what benefits
do speech and debate
you don't want to regret it l8ter on
and anyway i think that you kinda know thats what you're gonna do but you just want 2 feel better bout it
;)hope I could help

It sounds like it would be better to take speech and debate. I have noticed that my choir teachers have very good speech and I think that would help more in the music field than calculus.
