[quote=Anonymous]Big, big difference since honors is open enrollment and aap has an entrance threshold. I have taught sections of honors algebra that barely got through the gen Ed curriculum based on how many students signed up who had struggled in prealgebra or never taken an honors course before. We called honors “phonors” at my old school. It’s for kids who try hard. Some of them are advanced, some are just hard workers and see varying levels of success. There was a LOT of extra tutoring to keep kids from falling behind, and a lot of extensions and projects we skipped because the honors kids couldnt (as a whole) handle it. Could some of them? Sure! But when only 6 or 7 out of 30 could, we opted to spend more time on remediation instead. YMMV based on how your school does math placement. —10 year middle school math teacher[/quote]
