Is Algebra Honors easier than Algebra I in 8th? I'm soooooooooo confused. [/quote]

Algebra I non-Honors  is going to be "easier" than Alg I HONORS.  The "honors" part means it has Algebra II in it as well (and it comes with a .5 gpa bump b/c of the "honors"). [/quote]

This. Algebra 1 honors would only be “easy” if the teacher was an easy grader, lax, etc. it is not an easy class. [/quote]

DP, but I don't think that's what the PP was asking.  Some middle schools have "7th grade only" sections of Algebra I Honors.  Are those the same or harder than the 8th grade sections of Algebra I Honors.

In theory, Algebra I Honors should be the same class, regardless of whether it's taken in 7th or 8th.  In practice, the kids who qualified for 7th grade Algebra generally have more math aptitude than those who didn't.  If the school has Algebra I Honors sections that are restricted to only 7th graders, those classes may move faster or cover more.  I think my middle school mixes 7th and 8th graders for Honors Algebra I, and I don't know how common or uncommon that is in FCPS.  [/quote]
