[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]At BCC it has honors in parentheses. French 5A/3B (Honors). Same with Spanish and Chinese.

And, BCC has French 6 (Honors), in addition to the AP.  What is the rationale for that??  Does it have to do with their student population?[/quote]

I think they are just putting Honors in parentheses as a shortcut to saying these level 5 and 6 classes are not actually Honors, but receive the same GPA weight as if they were. [/quote]
But why take away the honors designation when there is a 3 and 4 honors?  Is it because the regular honors track is honors 3 and 4, then AP?[/quote]

The level 5 is mostly for kids who started in 6th Grade, and got to HS for freshman year at level 4, and don't want to to take AP Foreign Lang in sophomore year. It stretches it out and gives more practice. No need to worry about college confusion.[/quote]

My kid skipped 5 and just took AP as a senior.  Very common.[/quote]

Yes, that is why it is not designated honors, because level 5 is totally optional and if it was honors, they would have to have 2 different curricula. The current system gives the teachers more flexibility.  [/quote]

This is not true - there are other classes offered which are only offered in honors (for example, some mcps high schools only offer honors english 4 in 12th grade, there is no on level english 4). [/quote]
