i cant stay in that class!
ok so we changed classes at the beginning of the semester. now i have spanish 3 [junior year] and i ended up with literally the HARDEST teacher for that class. i havent had spanish in over a year, and all he does is talk in spanish. seriously, no english. when he goes over things, he does it really really fast. im already SO confused and its only been two days, and its only review. im not the quickest person to catch on with a foreign language, and i know absolutely no one in the class so i cant get one of my friends to help me. i signed up to see the guidance counselor about a class change, but they're swamped so its taking awhile. im afraid that when i go in, they wont take me seriously because they think i just want a different teacher. which i do, but its honestly so i will pass the class. if i stay in this class, i seriously think i will fail or get a really bad grade, or else have to constantly stay after school for extra help, which i dont have time to do because i work and such. im an all A/B honors/AP student, and i dont want this class to screw up my GPA. what can i say to try to get them to put me in a different class? i seriously dont think ill pass if i dont =[

Maybe give some free advice about: School?
When I was in high school, I decided to take chemistry. That was the biggest mistake I had ever made. I couldn't understand a bit of it. So, for the first 9 weeks, I got a D. That was on my transcript. I went to my guidance counselor and told her exactly this "I am not very good at chemistry, it is too hard for me, and I'm afraid of what this is going to do to my transcript, plus I don't want to fail, I need to find a different class to attend." She arranged for me to start taking another class instead. In that class, I was making an A. So, here is what I suggest you tell your GC.
#1 You don't think you can successfully do this class.
#2 You don't want to have this on your permanent record.
#3 You don't want to fail.
#4 You need a different class.
Most guidance counselors have to try and fix the problems you are having, given that there is a way to fix it. In your case, there is. I wish you nothing but Good Luck!!

What I tthink you should do is 1)get a tutor to work with you whenever possible 2)stay after school and work with the teacher and 3) always ask people in your class eve if your friends aren't there, you won't understand it unless you ask for help
