[quote=Anonymous]My comparison is not whether AP is a college-level course or not. My kid is 15 and I would hope will be expected to do more when 19. The relevant comparison is among the various sections offered by the HS. For my child, the honors courses are not challenging, period. She almost never has homework in them and tells me she doesn't learn much. If there were a real Honors course offered that contrasted with AP (for instance, an Honors section that had deep inquiry as an approach rather than the AP study-for-the-test approach, then I'd seriously consider it. In the meantime, I'm disappointed that there aren't more 10th grade AP courses offered (english, etc). [/quote]
