cross country wrap up and how to get in shape like a basketball player

Cross country did a lot better this year than they have in the past. They had a full team for the whole season unlike last year. In cross country it takes 5 runners to make a full team last year the team had only four runners for most of the season due to many injuries and grades . Track and cross country have many differences track is ran on the track and is focused on track items cross country however is running up and down hills and can be run in many different places.

revisions but i still need my conclusion

AP classes at Gunderson High School have undergone many changes over the last couple of years. AP is offered to juniors and seniors for courses such as English, History, Science, and Foreign Language.

Unfortunately, that is a small amount of AP classes. The main reason for such a lack of these classes is student hesitance. Some students decide not to take AP classes since they are not interested in attending a four-year college. Another reason that AP classes are shunned is the difficulty of the courses. Mrs. Quinn, AP literature, says, “AP and accelerated have a lot more work and reading than the mainstream classes”, sadly this is true and it turns students away from enrolling in advanced classes. Despite the difficulty of the classes they are open to all students regardless of GPA. Also an $85 fee is required to take the final AP test, all though some students believe the charge is unnecessary Ms. Jeannette Harding stated, “It costs a lot of money to process the tests”. In case of sophomores there are only two choices, mainstream or accelerated. This has resulted in an overall lack of interest from sophomores in previous years. Instead of AP Gunderson, adapted to accelerated classes which are used to prepare students for AP in there junior and senior years.

There are three different types of advanced classes: AP for juniors and seniors, honors for juniors not quite ready for AP, and accelerated for sophomores is a prep class for AP or honors. Each of these classes has a similar curriculum and speed, yet they are far from being the same classes. These classes affect GPA differently, in some school districts students receive a one-point boost for their GPA for example, an A is usually worth four points in a mainstream class but in an AP or honors class an A is worth five points, sadly San Jose Unified School District does not allow this GPA boost. Each class also supplies a certain amount of leverage when applying for colleges. Consider this, a college is looking at two applicants both students have 4.0 GPA’s, they both have plenty of extra-curricular activities, but one had all AP classes while the other had all mainstream classes. Which one would the college most likely choose?

Overall, taking an AP class will show colleges that have taken a rigorous course and will consequently improve your chances. Know your limits but don't be afraid push them.

rough draft

Sophomores don't have AP classes since there are not enough students to fill these classes up. Instead, they are given accelerated classes. Some Juniors that are not ready for AP classes can take Honors classes. Accelerated, Honors, and AP classes are very similar curriculum and the speed of the class, yet these classes affect student's GPAs differently and supply different amounts of leverage when applying to college. Accelerated classes have no affect on GPA, but they give a slight edge over students in mainstream classes. Some school districts boost GPA for passed honors classes, unfortunatly San Jose Unified doesn't. AP classes have college approved curriculum, so students get college credit.

Unfortunatly, many students choose not to take AP classessince some students do not want to attend a four year college. Despite this, AP classes are open enrollment or any GPA screening. This means that regardless of what classes a student has taken he/she can still sign up for an AP class if he/she is willng to work diligintly. Another reason some students decide not to take AP classes is the $85 dollar fee required to take the AP test. Many students beilive that this charge is unreasonable. "Why should we have to pay for the test after we have already completed the course?" asks Gunderson senior Leonel Guzman. Assistant Principle of Guidance Jeannet Harding says, "It costs alot of money to process the tests".
