DP.. most of the MS have classes designated as "honors".  They are a joke.  My DC is now in 8th grade, was in every honors class available, and he mostly slept through the classes (figuratively) and got straight As. He had previously been in HGC.  And my DC is not really "gifted", just really really bright.

This is why so many parents are angry about what happened with the change in the MS magnet admissions.  The one or two class offerings in the home MS to placate the parents was pretty insulting.

Some people on the forum kept saying "oh, isn't wonderful now kids can stay in their home MS and not have to commute to get an enriched curriculum".  I snorted at their naivete.[/quote]

I thought Geometry and some World Language classes were the only official honors classes offered in middle school, as they are for HS credit. There are also Advanced classes at middle schools, like Advanced English 6 as opposed to English 6.[/quote]
