[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hear me out.[b] Several teachers have told me these kids are only taught 50-60% of the material compared to the equivalent Honors-Advanced-AP course[/b]. Obviously Honors-Advanced-AP courses are weighed, but a "regular" course kid can get a report card full of A's and B's. Gullible parents assume their kid is bright, but the kid is shaping up to be years behind their peers in the Honors-Advanced-AP courses.

Remember when Honors-Advanced-AP courses were called "COLLEGE TRACK"?

Going further, this seems like a long-con that tricks naive parents into sending their kids away to college, when they're severely unprepared. Seems an easy way of waking both kids and parents up would be to only give these kids B's, at best.[/quote]

You need to stop hanging out with crappy teachers.

Kids in high school only need to take high school classes.  There are plenty of those kids (mine included) who end up in schools with kids who take AP courses.  I have long thought that the Honore/AP track are the long-con on parents who feel their kids must take those courses to be ready for college.  It doesn't work like that.  [/quote]
