Switching subjects! Help!!

[Andrea.]

So I am currently taking psychology SL. I don't like the subject, our teacher doesn't know ib psychology very well and the classes are just a mess. I also feel like I don't understand anything and everything just sucks. I was thinking of switching to visual arts instead if I'm allowed. Is that a terrible idea? Could I possibly catch up on their work? I know they haven't done a lot yet, and I'm also prepared to do a lot of work seeing as this is something I really want.

Thanks in advance.

Eyyy Norge 

But hm... I don't even think my school would let anyone do that in IB2, but I'm not sure. I know it's easier to change level on the subject, but it might be more difficult for you to change the subject itself this late. I would probably talk to the art teacher if I were you and ask whether he/she thinks it's a good idea. It also depends on how committed you are to catch up, but it seems like you are okay with working a bit harder.

Already sent a message to the art teacher asking for his opinion and to also have a meeting with him if he thinks the subject change would be possible. Yes, I'm a bit worried the IB coordinator at our school won't allow it because she's strict. However, two people in my class changed from physics to biology just a month ago, but that was because they were failing physics. I'll probably need some strong arguments for why I should be allowed a subject change, but thanks anyway.

If the art teacher is on board, then your IB coordinator would most likely be fine with it as well. But no problem, hope it works out for you!
