[quote=Anonymous]Potomac US offers classes in many subjects at different difficulty levels (regular, honors, advanced, whatever). If a student signs up for classes with higher difficulty than that student's skills and the student wants an A, then it can be a pressure cooker. If student takes classes at a level matching their skills, it would not be such a pressure cooker. A student strong in writing and weak in math might take writing at a more rigorous level and math at a more regular level. In short, it matters which version of which courses a given student takes. This same principle also applies to several local private schools - and even in many local public schools - anywhere that regular, honors, and AP versions of the same class are offered. [/quote]
