I barely speak Chinese. The school has one Chinese teacher. He's a nice guy, but the workload is light, and he can't discipline the class. All the slackers (myself included) switched from Spanish to Chinese. I keep an A though, by being one of the better slackers. All I really know how to say is "Han bao bao"

Also, what's your AP CS textbook? I'm thinking about getting one, studying it over two years, and then taking the AP CS test senior year (My school only offers intro to CS, which I already took.)

Lol, you just described my Chinese class perfectly.

I think that we're using this book:

I'm pretty sure we did homeowrk twice last year. Ke Lao Shi is infamous for coming up with great ideas to structure/discipline his class, and never following through. On Friday, he decided he'd do attendence, and have all of us call out "Dao" (here). After 4 people, he decided it was taking too long, and just did it in his head.

I generally do the work and don't cheat (I'm one of the few), but always end up just cramming on tests/ quizzes and so don't learn anything.
