[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Most students need a mix of regular and honors instruction and benefit from inclusion. It's also good for building community[/quote] Agree. If there was an open Honors system in elementary school, I would never be one of those parents who pushes their child to be in all Honors. For instance, my DC would absolutely need to be on grade level for math - no way would I push DC into a higher level math class because I know how much stress math causes DC. However, I'd definitely place DC in Honors level language arts, social studies, and science, because these are all strengths. Any responsible parent knows their child's strengths and weaknesses (though looking at the kids who are pushed into AAP, this isn't entirely evident). As PP said, most students need a mix of both regular and Honors instruction - not all AAP or all Gen Ed, as it is now (with everything except math). [/quote]
