[quote=Anonymous]OP, parent placing would be a big issue at the elementary level. The schools would have to track within the classes because nearly all of the parents would insist upon the honors class whether or not their kids could handle it. I think by sixth grade it could work, maybe fifth, but certainly not for third or fourth. In elementary school it is more about the parents than the kids. Parents still consider homework and projects "OUR Project" or "WE worked all night on that homework assignment." Many elementary parents are too personally involved in their kids' work and grades to the point it becomes a personal affront to the. (The parents, not the kids) if the teacher does not recognize their kid's brilliance. If it was open honors for elementary it should be teacher placement based off grades and testing, not parent placement.[/quote]
