[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If DCPS middle school honors classes were out of the question in Ward 6, why has Stuart Hobson been able to offer them for English and math from 6th-8th grade for more than a decade now? Because the government hasn't noticed?

With a little more political will, particularly a push from Allen, Stuart Hobson, Eliot-Hine and Jefferson Academy could all offer not only advanced English and math, but advanced science and social studies.

Hill parents can contact their ANC reps and Ward 6 to ask for honors classes. Getting up petitions in your elementary school communities wouldn't hurt.  Some of us have already taken these simple steps to press for change.

My (very limited, I admit) understanding is that all SH sixth graders take honors English.  I’ve always wondered how “honors for all” is really honors, when the class can only go as fast as the slowest students.  But, again, I don’t know much about the school so maybe I am incorrect. [/quote]
