[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have an incoming 9th grade freshman and I was amazed to learn that ALL the kids are in honors english and history.  Doesn't that by definition make it non-honors?  Apparently it has to do with the IB program.  I don't understand it and don't think I will if I decided to think on it more.[/quote] It is honors actually honors, but they slow down the pace for the kids who need it. Kudos to the teachers for having to work with such a wide range of kids.[/quote]

I really think MCPS honors English is what used to be called college-prep when I was in high school. It is achievable for the overwhelming number of kids if they put enough time into it. I am sure it’s hard for the teachers to accommodate everyone, but it really is much better preparation than on-level English. [/quote]

My dyslexic son took honors English in 11th feeling that AP would be too much.  He said there were multiple kids in the class who left school early everyday to work.  The college focused kids were in AP classes.[/quote]
