What are the courses required to get associates in automotive collision repair?

Getting ahead by taking summer school courses?

• okay, my school district requires students to earn a certain amount of "credits" in order to graduate (I think most high schools work like that, though)-you can graduate by earning either 22, 26, or 30 credits (I'm on the 22 credit plan because I failed algebra I freshman year and 1st semester of sophomore year) I was thinking of taking summer school courses to get ahead and lessen the amount of class periods I would have senior year-I'm okay with spending my summer doing this because it's this or I sit at home for 3 months while my parents devote their time to remodeling the house they just bought there's 2 options for earning credits during the summer-either to make up for classes you failed, to get ahead, or for enrichment Summer School-you take a course and earn a 1/2 credit for the class if you finish with a 70 average or higher-you can earn a whole credit for the class by taking both the semester-1 material and semester-2 material classes (you can take 4 classes total, equaling 2 whole credits) Credit By Exam-you take a 100 question test and get a 1/2 credit if you score a 70 or higher on the test-you can take 8 tests total, equaling 4 whole credits Here was what I wanted to take- English 3 (ss) Social Studies 3 (ss) Spanish 1 (cbe) Spanish 2 (cbe) Art (cbe) Business Computer Information Systems (cbe) My sister told me I shouldn't take English 3 or Social Studies 3 because colleges don't like students taking classes like math and english during summer school in order to get ahead I speak really fluent spanish, and the last 2 classes are required to graduate, but I don't want to spend a year taking either of them because they're both just goof-off classes anyway... WHAT SHOULD I DO?! my counselor is an IDIOT and hasn't gotten back to me even though I signed up to talk to her 2 months ago The reason I want less class periods during senior year is because it will allow me to get a job and save money for college, as well as give me time to figure out where I want to go I'm planning on attending either Wyotech or UTI for Auto Collision & Repair (a course I've been taking during high school since freshman year and will continue taking though senior year because It's something I like), but I want to attend a 2-4 year university as well so I can have a backup plan.

• Answer:

  You should take the spanish, but not the math. Because, mst likely you'll need the math next year. Like i know you'll Algebra next year in geometry. I was going to take algebra II in summer school for next year, but my counselor ( which I lucked out and got one of the good ones) told me really I shouldn't) The best classes to take in summer school are like history ( you'll never need that for next year), and maybe one of the English's. Like for sophomore year we had a reading English class, and a writing English class. I took the reading one in summer school, since I was already a really strong reader, and did the writing one during the school year. So, you might want to also consider what you are strong in, that is why you are able to take spanish, because you already know it, and the class is a goof-off class. Maybe decide which of the english's you are better at and only do 1 or 2 of them, because it is true that colleges don't like that. The art sounds o.k. to take during summer school.( though I wouldn't because I'm trying to be an artist when i grow up, so I want to get as good at it as I can) The BCIS class, I don't know. I've never taken a class like that. Of you are planning to do something like that when you grow up, then don't take it in summer school, but if you aren't then do take it. But I repeat DO NOT take any type of math in summer school or online!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!… will regret it. (P.S. there is also online school, at our school it costs exactly the same as summer school) Good luck, and good idea on trying to get ahead. Oh yeah, don't tell anybody who is older than you that you are trying to get ahead in the classes, they get really mad. =(
