[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If child is college bound then take all honors. [/quote]Do not listen to this. It’s simply not true. Longfellow and McLean will tell you to start with 1-2 honor classes. This will be great for most kids. Some will also do just fine in all honors. Unfortunately it is teacher dependent in both honors and regular. Dropping down can be difficult for kids mentally and dropping down in more than one class can be very hard to deal with. Their schedule could change completely as well.We found (2 kids) it’s best to start with a few honors classes and increase rigor each year. By junior year a mix of AP and Honors for one child but for another Regular, honors and AP.[/quote]
