[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]At the end of 8th grade when it's time to sign up for 9th grade classes, the two will be counseled differently. AAP students are encouraged to take a more challenging curriculum than the honors group. I knew this since my daughter was in AAP only for math. At course selection time I stood in line with the AAP parents, and discussed course selection with counselors. I then compared notes with my honors student parents. It wasn't that the honors students couldn't sign up for the same 9th grade classes but they were getting steered towards a slightly lighter load. [/quote] Interesting, both my DCs went the Honors route in MS and were counseled to take all Honors available in HS. I guess it depends on the school and the student. [/quote]
