[quote=Anonymous]College credit and impact aside, at our HS there are very clear differences in the material being taught and the students in the classes, in three categories: Regular, Honors and AP. Regular is cell phone city, Honors is a mix of smart and/or ambitious kids and some not so much, and AP is serious kids and the best teachers fully engaged. It may or may not be equivalent to a college course, and it can be a little too intense, but there’s a heckuva lot more learning going on in those AP rooms. It’s essentially like three different high schools that share a building and sports teams. My kids go to school with kids they haven’t laid eyes on since middle school. They only know they’re there because we see the parents and ask about junior. “Haven’t seen that dude in years.”[/quote]
