[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Because the non honors is basically remedial level but no one wants to call it remedial because that is offensive to some in this politically correct country. Facts are no longer acceptable. So instead of saying remedial history and regular history, we say history and honors history. [/quote] But don’t Honors classes get weighted higher in gpa? [/quote] That would be correct. Personally, I don't agree with it at all, because in almost any instance, the AP course. will be significantly harder, but you won't see a difference in the GPA. For example, I have twins that are freshmen. He is in 2 AP's and taking math one year ahead, whereas she isn't taking any AP's and is taking on level math, and both are getting straight A's. Yet, the one taking AP's puts in much more time, but when you compare their GPA's his is only slightly higher than hers is.[/quote]
