[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I forget the date, but the curriculum and instruction committee had a discussion of honors classes last year(2021-2022) that was posted online.  I posted about it at the time, as I didn't understand what they were saying.  I think there are some middle schools that just let everyone take honors classes, and [b]one of the board members said you couldn't tell the difference[/b].[/quote]

What does this mean? Who couldn't tell the difference? The students? The teachers? The parents? And what is meant by difference? Grades? Learning?

As a substitute teacher who has subbed in all these subjects there is a huge difference in students who can spell and write and students who can't. Students who choose to complete their class assigments and homework and students who don't. Reading levels, classroom engagement, etc. I assure you there is a difference and tossing everyone together like a salad isn't helping anyone. [/quote]

I don't remember the exact situation described in the meeting.  Something about making all classes honors and you couldn't tell who was in honors, but it doesn't make sense as I am describing it.  Might have been you couldn't tell who had been in honors, but that doesn't make sense either.  You'd have to look up the curriculum video at the school board website.[/quote]
