[quote=Anonymous]when you add in the studying for tests and quizzes...... When I took honors classes in the late 70's there were no "quizes" and "tests" and tehre were only two possible grades : A or B. You were graded based on the quality of your participation in class discussion ( much of which was often heated debate) and a few papers you had to write. If you did not do " B" level work in the teachers opinion, you were asked to drop the class. Students could not simply "sign up" for an AP/Honors class, you had to be selected/nominated by two teachers who had taught you before. Many students took the AP exam, and of course, passed with a 5, but it was almost an after thought, not the point of the course. The point of taking these classes was to avoid being bored out of your mind in the reg academic track.[/quote]
