[quote=Anonymous]For curiosity, I checked the public school district that I went to the '80s and '90s in suburban Boston to see if it is offering honors for all. It is not. Here are the three levels offered - which means that honors really IS honors. So frustrated with MCPS.

Newton, MA offerings:

College Preparatory (CP)
Students working at the college preparatory level are progressing towards greater independence as they tackle content through inquiry, problem solving, critical thinking and reading and writing. In some courses, co-teaching might allow for more individualized attention as students develop these skills.

Advanced College Preparatory (ACP)
Students working at the Advanced College Preparatory level generally approach content with a solid degree of independence through inquiry, problem solving and critical thinking skills. The SAM option in ACP courses enables students who are still developing the skills necessary to succeed in an ACP class the opportunity to take an ACP class. The goal of this program is to allow students to Stretch intellectually, Aim for excellence and Make progress (SAM).

Honors (H)
At the Honors level, students not only approach course content independently, but use their inquiry, problem solving, and critical thinking skills to explore associated topics and themes beyond the scope of the Advanced
College Preparatory curriculum.[/quote]
