[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The difference is open enrollment. We (not so) jokingly call honors “faux-ners” because the rigor just can’t be there when only half the class is at or above grade level. I can’t teach anything but the most basic systems of equations to kids who can’t solve an equation or plot a point. AAP maintains the real rigor, for the most part. Only 1-2 kids in a class struggle with the regular curriculum meaning I have time for real extensions and challenges, vs half in honors and 90% in gen ed.[/quote] OP here - Thanks for your insight. I should have highlighted more in my question that the kids coming from Level IV AAP are pooled in their own classes at the non-center school. So there’s Honors classes that are open enrollment and then Honors classes with only AAP kids. The (non-center school) said they do this to ensure the AAP kids can maintain the rigor and pace they were used to in ES. [/quote]
