[quote=Anonymous]The reason Honors works in Middle school is because students really have demonstrated subject-specific talents and parents are more removed from the whole process. If parents are allowed to place their children in certain subjects at the elementary level it will devolve into all kids being signed up for whatever seems to be the fun class, the socially popular class, the "cool teacher" class, the "smart kids" class. As it is we have a Kindergarten teacher that is seen as The K teacher to have. She's not even that different than the others but in our neighborhood the answer to "which K teacher is good?" has been "Oh, Ms. ABC!" for so long that it's set in stone. Now the parents send letters and set up appts with the principal to push for that class. Parents campaigning to get their children into AAP from K on already proves that parents don't always know best or at least shouldn't have all the power in placement. [/quote]
