[quote=Anonymous]There is an honors science program, a world politics program, and an arts program, all of which have limited admissions that are competitive. I don't think there is anything wrong with a competitive entry program - not everyone gets in so that there can be a smaller class with more focus. That said, Potomac has let that approach spread, so there are now barriers to a number of other honors courses. In theory, those are just intended to make sure the student can handle the work but with things like AP English (or its equivalent, now that Potomac dumped APs), but that is overkill. Kids should be able to challenge themselves if they want (maybe subject to parent approval). Some of the admins are a little power crazed. It is exceedingly irritating to have the school talk about mental health/pressure so frequently and then create all these extra stressors. [/quote]
