[quote=Anonymous]Honors. It is self-selected meaning children who actually want to learn will be in the class. Less discipline issues and less bullying, and a better peer group. Thr majority kids of these kids will want to do well. Better to get a C in an honors class and actually learn something, than be in a class with low expectations and feel frustation due to classmates' behavior and fitting in. Regarding the "all students are in honors," mantra, for some schools they require honors for one or two subjects. Even if those classes are not difficult, the other honors classes will be challenging and the "mixed" honors classes will let your child be exposed to a wider range of students.[/quote]
