[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Whats the difference between honors and grade level?

Pace? Difficulty? Work load? [/quote]

Officially, according to the MCPS course bulletin:
[i]
Honors courses provide expectations and opportunities for students to engage in more rigorous and complex content and processes and to develop authentic products that reflect the student’s understanding of key concepts. The curriculum in each Honors course includes appropriate adaptations for enriched learning to pursue in-depth studies that require abstract and higher-order thinking skills.[/i]

The issue is that the grade-level courses are often not even offered in the schools, even though they are still listed in the bulletin.[/quote]

I agree and my daughter would do better and learn in grade level Math. She’s in honors and it’s not the privilege mcps thinks it is if she and other kids are not learning and absorbing the information. Honors for all is not good for advanced learners or for grade level learners. [/quote]

From what I've seen, on-level Math classes [i]are[/i] still offered in high school, as well as honors.[/quote]
