Do I have to take physics in high school?

I'm a junior and I have an F in physics right now but the vice principal is letting me drop it right now so I don't have an F on my transcript.

Should I take it again in Senior year? I like it, but I'm so bad at it. Apparently its important too.

My career choices are music and video game design

It depends, I suppose.

Drop from your transcript? :?DroidPhysX

Physics is a hit or miss in high school. Unless you have taken calculus, learning physics early can be some what difficult. Calculus is vital to understanding physics.

I never took it in high school. Not even sure there was a physics class.

I do not believe that physics is required. 'Round here, it was either physics or astronomy, and you had to choose one or the other...

Never took it graduated liek a boss. silentnightmere

[QUOTE="DroidPhysX"]Drop from your transcript? :?martinX3X

No... You just need four sciences I think. I wish I could drop the science I'm taking (Anatomy and Physiology), but my school won't let me...

No. Usually biology and chemistry are the required sciences.

For music and video game design? No. Physics is more for electronics engineering. Though if you enjoy the subject then by all means, give it another try. A strong background in algebra, trigonometry and calculus is very helpful, and absoltutely required at the college level.

To graduate from HS? No. I have never taken it. For college? Depends on what you are majoring in... it wouldn't hurt to know something about it if your college major depends on it.

It's optional as long as you have the amount of credits to graduate and the so many credits of science, etc. Atleast that's how it was at my high school.

I took

Biology

Earth Science

and Chemistry.

Was gonna do physics but the school won't let me since I have already done 3 years of science. Depends on your district.

There were high schools that had oceanography? My school only had the most common science courses. Hell, we only had Spanish available as a foreign language class and I heard people have taken different languages in HS... man... my school really sucked. :(MistressMinako

What the. Physics should totally be a required course. It's like one of the most important things.Ace6301

You, quite unfortunately, probably do not have to take it.

was required at my school, but ...that was my school

The physics of sound is important... acoustics, frequences. One of your career choices is music? I give it another shot.

I'm pretty sure it depends on your state's curriculum. It was an elective at my high school - which I elected not to take. Which is something I regret - usually aspiring engineers will want to learn trig and all sorts of science - I was fine with geometry and biology -- lol.

Physics doesn't matter according to your career path. I totally agree with you, it sucks.

how are you going to design how a video game npc falls from a window without proper physics knowledge?

Computer Programming in general at my college, has Physics as a required course.
