[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not Longfellow or McLean, but my kids' experience has been that all honors is the way to start. Some kids need four weeks to really get in the swing of things and adjust to each teacher's style, after which you can decide together with their teacher/counselor if they should stick with honors or drop down. Dropping down to regular in one or even two classes is not a big deal. However, being "stuck" on a regular track if the student is capable or doing honors work is a problem. Self-doubt, established peer group, comfort zone. All these make it difficult to step up to honors if the student did not start there in 9th grade. Good luck, OP![/quote] Our school recommended NOT taking honors unless the student enjoys reading and writing and likes to put in extra effort (mine does not). They even tried honors math but it’s also difficult- student barely has a “C” even with tutoring.[/quote]
