[quote=Anonymous]Don't get hung up with the labels. APs are the most challenging and most rigorous. They are usually not quite college level, but are close to a freshman-level college intro class. They vary from somewhat to very challenging. Honors is what used to be called 'on grade level'. You can be annoyed by the inflation of labels, but except in the cases of a few classes, this is what college-bound students ought to take. Many 'regular' classes are essentially remedial, though in some advanced subjects (pre-calculus comes to mind) the course is a good option for many college bound (not math oriented kids). We aren't pushing the kids too hard-- society has just relabeled these three categories.[/quote]
