[quote=Anonymous]Wife and I were both in the honors program in college 25 years ago at American.

It was a pain in the ass.

First, there were in fact a couple of honors classes you could take. They were not distinguished by better dialogue but by sounding more like that asinine grandstanding discussion between wannabe dormroom politicians. And the worst of it was that if there were any kinds of tests or papers with any kind of consequences or outcomes, fellow students thought they could negotiate with the professors about what would be on the test or ask them 20 questions about what was going to be on the test and then try to hold the professors to the 'promises' they had extracted through this socratic haranguing of our own damn professors. I don't know where you're from, but I came from podunk backwards America but we didn't do that to our teachers in high school and it pissed me off.

Second, there was a random extra project that did not feel integral and culminating, i.e., a capstone. I did it, wife did not, I got the extra tiny-font line on my never-displayed diploma, she did not. She's an SES, I'm a Fed too and we're both fine but it hardly made a difference. [/quote]
