[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. Not from the UK but from an international school. So regular classes are mostly remedial in MD public schools? How is it that those students do well in college? In my mind, I pictured honors as very challenging and AP is only for the top students. [/quote] Take everything here on dcum with a grain of salt. Regular classes are not remdial but they are the lowest offered. They have a wide range of kids. Dcum tends to focus on the highest performing kids and very selective colleges. The idea of regular is unacceptable...which us part of the reason we have so mnany kids in honors classes who might nit be in other definitions.[/quote] +1 kids who take regular classes do still go to college, just probably not the competitive ones. If you're looking for your kid to go to a selective American college here, and you want your kid to take several AP classes/exams. [/quote]
