[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]One teacher or experience does not make an entire district. [b]Mediocre math students should not be in Honors math classes.  It’s a disservice to them getting good skills in whatever level class.[/b]

And as the PP, if you go this route be prepared for more than a workbook.[/quote]

Would a mediocre student be better off and learn more math in (1) a classroom full of kids taking honors geometry, or (2) in a classroom pp described, with a teacher who didn't show up half the time and barely taught, and a classroom full of completely disinterested and disruptive students? What would be better for that particular student? In FCPS, those are the two choices.

If those are the choices, in a classroom with honor students. Be prepared to hire a tutor and also, most importantly, hopefully your kid will make friends in this class and they will help each other. That has been my experience.

My daughter helped her friends with Alg I and Geometry (she was studying Alg II) and they were helping her with Biology.
