[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The point is, it's meaningless to call a class that's tailored to be accessible for every student an "Honors" class. Relative to what? If it's the only option available, it's not an Honors class. Debate all you want about whether it's a good thing or bad thing to have all the kids taking the same class, but to label it Honors is just doublespeak. And personally I expect a certain level of intellectual honesty and integrity from school leaders, so this kind of window dressing is disappointing. [/quote] By keeping the class designated as HOnors, it means that the grade is weighted in every students GPA. It will effectively inflate everyone's GPA. I would be concerned that once colleges catch on to this, they would be somewhat skeptical of high GPAs from Wilson.[/quote]
