[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For years, all FCPS MS students were automagically enrolled in 
honors courses with few exceptions. [/quote]

Instead of dumbing it down FCPS is raising the bar so good for them![/quote]

Sure.  Calling it Honors makes it Honors.  [/quote]

Especially when it is the same honors curriculum, but they're expecting all students to rise to the occasion. It's like that movie Stand and Deliver where nobody believes in these kids except this one guy, but because of him, they rise to the occasion. FCPS is doing exactly that. It's so inspirational![/quote]
? You know that the teacher at Garfield HS had extra support classes for the students in order for them to learn the advanced material, right?  Before and after school, weekends and holiday tutoring is basically what he provided.  If school districts did that, I think these such kids would do a lot better. And indeed, school districts do have after school tutoring, Saturday school, summer school, but guess what... you can't force the kids to attend.

Back then, "honors" meant "honors", unlike today.
