Instead of eliminating honors which is the national trend, MCPS is doing the opposite and raising the bar by requiring honors for all. [/quote]
Honors for all = Honors for none

It's pretty simple logic really.[/quote]

I know some people would like to spend it that way, but I've seen no evidence to support that conjecture. [/quote]

I also prefer to take them out face value unless there's evidence to the contrary. Honors for all simply means honors for all and I'm all for raising everyone up to a higher standard. [/quote]

But if everyone has honors, how will parents know that their kids are special and better than the gen pop kids? Let's be clear...the parents who care about this aren't as concerned about academic rigor as they are viewing education as a competition.[/quote]
