[quote=Anonymous]Also, don't read too much into 'breezing through honors bio.' At MS parent night, the 7th grade science teacher told parents that her class was harder than the freshman bio class and in fact she'd had 7th graders tutoring their older siblings. I laughed it off until my kid got to 9th grade and told me it was true-- honors bio is generally a breeze for a lot of kids. Very low level of rigor. Likewise, my less- science oriented kid is currently in both honors chem (has 98%) and ap physics 1 (has like an 84%). And I know from the older one that the 'real' ap physics courses (the next step up) are way, way harder than ap physics 1. All this to say that the kid's scores in math class are probably a better predictor of success in the ap sciences than their scores in the honors science classes. [/quote]
