if you believe you can do it, you can. It will just require hard work, and actually doing your homework. If you're determined, go for it.

Take it. Whenever people say shit like that, it means that most people got B's instead of A's.

A B from a calculus class is a A+ in a normal class.
I'm taking it next year...
or the year after that...

If your prepaired to put the work in and study for it...you can do almost anything!
If you dont think you can comit to the subject...choose something else!
Also...better to have tried something and failed...than to take the easy option

For me Calculus was fun. Geometry was the one killing me

F**K that...you can learn another language easy after school....but math and calculus (no chance!)
If you want to learn another language...go traveling and spend some time in Europe/Asia...easy to learn from the locals....nobody talks math:)

The only reason anyone learns calculus is so they look good for college.
There are zero real-world uses for it.

LOL...i know there are Zero uses for calculus in the real world....but were talking about a guy who still at school...and yes math is better to learn at school!1
my point was that you can learn all other shit in the real world...but you won't learn calculus...thanks for proving my point

It's always wise to test yourself and your limits,don't let the other participants influence your decisions so easily. Worst case scenario you will end up with an bruised ego..
You should take it, build your persona and character.

You won't learn it because it's useless.
Thanks for proving
my point.
Languages on the other hand, are always useful. Regardless of whether you can learn it in school or not.

Yeah...and if you gonna go to collage...why not look good!
I totally understand what your saying...shit like calculus is useless outside of school..but that stuff will help you get ahead in the education system!
I dont make the rules but thats how it is!!......use the system!!
I can't argue with you Reise because i agree with what you say....but when we talk about a guy making this choice at school then i have to say "Yes" go for it...it will count for morew toward further education than any language will!
