[quote=Anonymous]My current-9th grader recalled that 6th was the most difficult of any in MS, and it wasn't that it was difficult, but that the 6th grade teachers assigned a lot of homework.   7th and 8th weren't difficult, and she really didn't have much homework, either. She had well over 95% in almost all classes all 3 years-- not bragging (I think most of her friends ended up about the same in most classes), but just saying classes were way too easy.  (I think a typical kid may find one or two classes more challenging because of the teacher they draw or because they are stronger in some subjects than others, but few find most/all challenging.)

Now in 9th, the only difficult classes are AP classes and Honors Chemistry.  Her friends chose honors for a couple of classes where she chose AP and they report that the Honors are not difficult (one mother described them as about like MS).

Unfortunately, in HS there seems to be no middle ground.  AP classes are a ton of work and Honors aren't challenging at all...[/quote]
