[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]Not being snarky but I thought like 80 percent of the population takes honors now and regular classes are really like special ed. My kids are in private but I attended MCPS many moons ago[/b].[/quote] This is what I'm looking for...straight talk. Is this still the case today? Does the average A/B student take "honors" everything? [/quote] What the PP said is absolutely true in our local high school (which is not considered one of the 'desirable' schools here on DCUM). You want your kids to be in the highest level classes offered (be that AP, IB, or honors), in order for them to be around kids who are college-bound and trying to do their very best and apart from the ones with discipline issues. Of course, it makes a huge difference in weighted GPA and on college apps, where they want to see that kids took a challenging course load.[/quote]
