I want to switch two of my class periods around. Right now I have Calculus 1st period and Physics 2nd, but I want them the other way around. I think I have pretty legitimate reasons, but I’m not sure if the administration will take them.
1. My friends are in the 1st period Physics class and my 2nd period Calculus class. I don’t think I would be disruptive if I were to change classes and it would help alleviate a stressful junior year.
2. I am a bit tired in 1st period, so I want to take Calculus when I’m less tired. It’s a lot harder, so it’s more important.
3. I wouldn’t have to walk to my Calculus class from my locker and back to my Physics class next period if they were switched around. Instead, I could go straight from my locker to Physics and then Calculus.
4. It would only take 2 minutes to change the schedule.
5. I have the same teachers, so they wouldn’t have to do any more work.
I don’t know if my counselor will take any of my reasons, but my parents are willing to help. Should I have them come in and complain that the school is violating my student rights or something?

Okay, I copy and pasted your legit reasons. I also changed a few words, so when you go ask to change your schedule, here’s what you should say:
1. People I know and am close to are in the 1st period Physics class and my 2nd period Calculus class. It would really help alleviate a stressful junior year if I were with them.
2. I am a bit tired in 1st period, so I want to take Calculus when I’m less tired. It’s more important to me.
3. I wouldn’t have to walk to my Calculus class from my locker and back to my Physics class next period if they were switched around. Instead, I could go straight from my locker to Physics and then Calculus.
3. Is the best choice if you only decide to use one reason.
You have a student right to your classes… but you do not have a right to say “when.” If your parents are supportive, I say you go to your counselor alone and try to make the change. If your counselor balks, then say your parents support your changes and that you’ll need to have a meeting to explain why your counselor is not making the schedule changes. My guess? You counselor will most likely make the changes to avoid a confrontation by your parents. And remember… your counselor really doesn’t have the final word. In order, here’s the chain of command: counselor, principal, superintendent, and school board members.
More then likely they wont care. My school wouldn’t take any of those reasons. They’d say “if we let you change just because its easier for you, then everyone else will want to change” So yeah, you need way better excuses or you just need to deal. (And P.S, what if first hour Physics is full? Then they have a reason not to let you switch.)
this is what you got to say if you want to change classes. THIS TEACHERS A HOE AND BORING AS **** HER VOICE IS SO ANNOYING WHEN I HEAR IT, BUT HONESTLY I JUST DONT LIKE THE CLASS AND I DONT TO LEARN MUSIC OR PLAY MUSIC IN GENERAL TELL THAT ************ TO CHANGE YOU CLASS BEFORE MY PARENTS COME CUSS YOU OUT AND BEAT THE **** OUT OF YOU, YOU LITTLE STUPID *** ***** I AINT ******* WITH YOU!!!!!!
As long as the classes aren’t full I don’t see why you couldn’t.
if there are (bad kids in your class tell teach they r distracting me and i cannot focus on my work haha or just annoying ppl works for me everytime =pppp
You don’t have to have a reason really. They’ll do it if your parents tell them to.
Do what you have to, and if your conselor doesn’t buy it, your parents could change it too
Don’t make excuses…tell the truth.
