[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hear me out. Several teachers have told me these kids are only taught 50-60% of the material compared to the equivalent Honors-Advanced-AP course. Obviously Honors-Advanced-AP courses are weighed, but a "regular" course kid can get a report card full of A's and B's. Gullible parents assume their kid is bright, but the kid is shaping up to be years behind their peers in the Honors-Advanced-AP courses.

Remember when Honors-[b]Advanced-AP courses were called "COLLEGE TRACK"?[/b]

Going further, this seems like a long-con that tricks naive parents into sending their kids away to college, when they're severely unprepared. Seems an easy way of waking both kids and parents up would be to only give these kids B's, at best.[/quote]. Eons ago when I was in high school, we didn't have something called "college track." I was in mostly Advanced classes. Some of those were AP. I took Honors Math. There were also Standard classes, and Basic classes. You could get As, Bs, Cs etc in all of them, but there was a weighting for the harder classes that would help with your class rank. So you had to take all Advanced classes to be in the top 10 etc. [/quote]
