[quote=Anonymous]If the honors class does is not weighted (i.e., if a grade of A = 4, and not 5 grade points, or whatever comparable system your school uses for grade points), I would strongly argue against taking the class. My experience is that my only B grades were in honors classes (which offered no weighting upside, but far greater workload than the regular college prep version of the class), and a non-Western foreign language that is spoken by 75 - 80% of my classmates as the primary language in the home. Hardly anything to gain (and you can make up the rigor with AP classes where the 4 - 5 pass rate for the AP test = < 20%), and a lot to lose when your friends are coasting to an A with hardly a broken sweat and you're staring down the barrel of an 89.4% at the end of the term.[/quote]
