[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hit submit too soon, but 100% agree with the post quoted above.  It is not that difficult to get all As at Longfellow.

One of my DCs took honors Biology and World Civ and those 3 classes were a LOT of work.  Other DC took honors geometry, but all regular classes otherwise.  He is neither disruptive nor unintelligent (got a 34 ACT with prep).  He entered 9th grade as a 13 year old with ADHD and didn't want intense reading and writing assignments so no honors English or History.  Older DC took mainly honors throughout HS and younger had more of a mix of honors, regular and AP. They had no problems getting into or graduating from college.

The best teacher either one had was probably the one who taught DC regular English in 9th and 12th grade. He really engaged my reluctant reader/writer.[/quote]

You’ve just confirmed my decision to do all honors. Regular classes are for “reluctant” readers and writers - my child is neither and is above grade level. [/quote]
