So I'm a junior this year going into my senior year, and we were recently given the materials for class registration. We are on the block schedule (if you aren't familiar with it we have 4 classes each day, alternating, with a total of 8) and I know most of the classes I plan on taking. My dilema is with my math class.

Math is easily my worst subject. Most of the classes I'm taking next year are AP or honors... with the exception of math. Right now I'm in trig, and it's a miracle I'm passing it at all. All my other grades are A's, and then trig is my only C. My grades in math have gone down each year i high school from A's in freshman year, B's sophomore year, and now finally to C's. It's not that I don't try, but it's the combination of a bad teacher and the fact that I just don't get it. So basically I can't decide what math to take next year.

I have two options. I could take pre-calc, or foundations of college math, a class that I'm not sure is offered everywhere else. I have been asking around at school, and have been given conflicting advice. Some people tell me pre-calc is "a breath of fresh air" after trig. Some people tell me it's just as hard. As for the other class, some people tell me that it's a good class to take because it's very practical and relates to real-life, others have told me it's a b.s. class and nobody does anything, which is not what I'm looking for.

I don't want to take pre-calc if it's going to kill my GPA, but I'm hesitant to take foundations because I plan on attending a university straight out of high school and I'm afraid it will look bad on my transcript to be moving from a higher level math to a lower one. On the other hand, I'm considering majoring in communications/ mass media production, which wouldn't require a lot of high level math.

HELP!!!!:eek:
