DC is in 7th grade and has yet to write a real paper. I'd love more writing. Do you also not understand the difference in how to dive deep into a topic compared to surface level? Intensified, I hope, will challenge kids to think more deeply about topics and to want to understand them more.[/quote] But they've said the course cannot go any faster than the regular class, and has to stick to the same curriculum. This would mean they couldn't have additional or deeper assignments, because those assignments would cut into the time allotted to the unit. If they're going to do this, it needs to be done right. That means allowing the honors class to go faster, or to assign additional, more thought-provoking assignments.[/quote]
