What are some good reasons for wanting to switch two of my classes to say to my counselor at my high school?

Question

I want to switch my dance class and my english class because my friends are in the opposite periods that i am in. So i need a legitament reason for wanting to switch other than just saying "cuz my friends are in there!"

Answer 1

When I switched my schedule I wanted to switch certain classes I think it was study hall and english and he asked why and I said "well i would prefer to have study hall at the end of the day when all my homework is assigned that way I will be more organized" so you kind of have to look at the rest of your schedule... also is your dance class of a morning? you could say that you don't want to get all sweaty in the morning and you would prefer to do it later.

Answer 2

i dont want to be sweaty before english class, i ownt be able to concentrate.  

Answer 3

say i would be more prepared for english if i had it earlier in the day and tell them that english is the most important thing to you... just dont say anything about your friends because that wont work lolz

Answer 4

The excuses above are good.

Or you could say something like, "There are people in that class that I don't get along with, and it's hard to concentrate. I'd prefer to be in a different period, because I like the teacher."

Because they might switch you to a completely different class. If they ask who is bothering you, just tell them you'd rather not say.

But keep in mind that they probably won't ask you what period you want to have that class, they'll just switch you to whatever they can.

So you might regret this later if the class you get switched into still doesn't have your friends and is even worse.

Also, getting a schedule change can change other classes that you already have. So think this through and make sure you're positive!

Answer 5

Yeah, is it in the morning? Whats the rest of your schedule?

Answer 6

"I am finding if very hard to focus on English in the afternoon, so much has gone on my that time of day that I am just drained. I'd like to move it to a morning period IF ONE IS OFFERED." Stress the "if one is offered" because the fact that you don't know about the class will free you of concerns that you only want to move because of your friends.

For the opposite scenario:

"I am finding very hard to perform in Dance in the afternoon, I have have just found that I am just exhausted by that time of day. Plus, I really think that is a great way to wake me up and get the day started! I would really rather take it in the morning IF IT IS OFFERED then."

Just give a performance based reason, and he/she will  happily comply.

Answer 7

I dont want dance in the morning :)
