[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]One benefit is that the honors grades are weighted. So an honors "c" grade is factored as a regular "b" grade when calculating GPA [/quote] +1. This makes a big difference when calculating GPA. OP, when I was in high school, there was an energy to some of the honors classes that didn't exist in my regular classes. Kids were a little more switched on, and of course working harder, since there was more challenging work. Sometimes - though not always - the more experienced (or "better") teachers got to teach the honors classes. though not always. Tests were sometimes different - more short answer in the regular classes, more long essay in the honors classes. The honors classes provided a better preparation (in reading, writing and study skills) for college. The important thing is to choose how many honors classes, and which ones. This depends on your child's academic interests and personality.[/quote]
