[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP.  We found this too - DD took Alg 1 and Language 1 and 2 in MS.  None of those were weighted grades and even though DD got As in all 3 classes, it actually hurts/drags down her GPA.  Now that she is applying to college.  None of these classes were "honors" and no "honors" version was offered.  I'm not sure if that was county-wide or just our school which is high FARMS.

By contrast, Geometry was offered in 8th grade at "honoes" level and DD did get weighted points for it.

Personally, I think the solution is that MS kids should be able to opt MS classes off their HS transcript if they don't need the class for graduation.[/quote]

But, this is the same for everyone. ALL MCPS kids need to take Language 1 and 2, which are not honors classes anywhere. And, they all need to take Algebra, which is also not an honors class. Everyone is in the same boat, so no one has a comparative advantage or disadvantage. There is no issue.[/quote]+1, there isn't issue. Honors does not start in Math until Geometry and does not start in Language until Level 3. It is not that the class is being taught in MS.[/quote]
