[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Proof? [b]Just look at any HS honors or AP class[/b]. Most of the kids were in honors or AAP in MS. Most of the GE classes are a continuance of the same GE students from MS.

Your assertion is not proof.[/quote]
Your demand for proof is not a counter argument.  Wouldn't it be more effective to put up your own proof that most Gen Ed students who opt out of honors in middle school go on to embrace it in high school.  [/quote]

You think there are a ton of kids who can't hack honors/AAP English or math in MS, but suddenly have not just the talent, but the foundation, to go up to honors in HS? I seriously doubt it. There are always exceptions, but I'm sure most kids on the GE MS track stay there is HS. [/quote]

:lol: 
Wait until high school, then get back to us.[/quote]

Unless they are dumbing down the curriculum and slowing the pace,[b] I'm not sure how a kids who doesn't take honors or is in aap will be successful in, say, honors English. [/b][/quote]

Then you must not get around much.  This describes my son and most of his male friends who didn't really "get" the point of school until high school.  It's called maturity and brain development and it happens at a different pace for everyone.  Not all of us start out as students, including the many people who contribute great things to world when they grow up -- and it may just help that in the interim they've gotten to slack off, play some sports and start figuring out who they are separate from a report card.
