[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Honors for all is being extended to 11th grade next year.  I was told 11th grade science choices next year are Honors physics,  AP physics and AP chem.

Unbelievable. [/quote]

“Unbelievable,” eh? I never thought I’d say this, but thank God for the DCPS administration and their willingness to push back against parents like you. I think you, and all the parents who think like you, should take responsibility for your own children and stop blaming any issues with their learning on the mere presence, in your child’s classroom, of children whom you, for whatever reason, do not approve of.[/quote]

DP:  There’s just no logic to this.  If it’s the class that everyone can take, then it is “Physics.”

It makes no sense to think that mis-labeling something as “Honors” achieves sone real-world impact.[/quote]

If the content of the two classes is different, which it is, then the classes are different. The content of the class is not determined by who is taking the class.[/quote]

If there is no “Physics” class to compare it to, then the curriculum of Honors Physics can’t be different from the Physics curriculun.[/quote]

Exactly.  So really it’s not Honors Physics if you don’t have a physics class below it.  So everyone taking physics is in an honors or AP physics if there is only those 2 options.  [/quote]
