Class of 2026
On the first day of school, Mr. Clark said something along the lines of: “Listen, here’s the deal: either you take Economics with me now and actually learn how this stuff works... or you’ll stumble through real college-level Economics later, confused, frustrated, and probably crying over graphs and supply-demand curves. Your choice. ” From that moment, the class understood just how important this course was. As long as you put in effort, ask questions, and actively participate, Mr. Clark will do everything he can to help you succeed in class and on the AP exam in May. However, he doesn’t waste a single ounce of energy on students who aren’t serious about this class—like he says, it’s your future, not his. Grades are determined equally by tests and problem sets, and test curves are generous—but the amount of curve you get depends on whether you’re genuinely trying in class.
