[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We were told at a meeting for incoming B-CC parents last week that honors and non-honors students are in class together and the difference is that honors students have harder tests (not just for biology, but for other subjects, too). [/quote] I was told that, too, starting in MS, and bought the line. It was a joke on us. My kids are now in HS. Not BCC cluster. Agree with a PP, the "honors" distinction is purely a way to inflate the GPA and not make some kids feel bad for not being in "honors". When MCPS really did have that distinction, some people didn't like the class makeup of "regular" classes. So, they did away with regular classes and slapped the label "honors" to make the demographics of the class look better, as if somehow that would magically close the achievement gap.[/quote]
