When you turn 18 you should have the same desicion. You can talk to your teacher about it. They are usually very understanding about stuff like this. If they are not talk to your guidance counselor. If you think you are ready to move up in english then they should take your word for it but they will let you know that you can see them for help whenever you may need it.

If you qualify, than tell your mom that you are clearly ready for regular English, and you need the challenge to get the most out of school. Good luck!
