[quote=Anonymous] OP think of it this way-it may be sink or swim and you don't want your kid to become completely stressed out with every class being that way. A LOT of students at McLean end up dropping out of an honors class at some point along the way. A strong foundation is important. Some figuring if their kid keeps treading water with a C or D, they will eventually rise and that may happen, but especially with math classes, you need to fully master the concepts to build. Longfellow is absolutely "honors" wink wink for some classes. It's much easier to claim it's all honors to shutdown pushy parents while making sure students are properly placed. You get to choose real honors at McLean, but don't base it on the Longfellow experience. Also, colleges want well-rounded students so make sure your student has time to play a favorite sport or explore clubs too.[/quote]
