[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]MCPS has pretty much done this, though rather than "eliminating" honors, they made it honors-for-all, which accomplishes the same thing. I'm with the critics on this approach. It's wrongheaded and doesn't work.[/quote]

We still have real honors classes. Which school has done this?

Tons of schools do this, for example, having all students take Honors English 9 and 10, which are a complete joke.[/quote]

Because you aren't specific, I have to conclude you are writing about some other county.[/quote]

People are literally posting links to 9th grade registration pages where Honors English 9 is the only choice.

Here's Walter Johnson, you can see that Honors English is the only option: https://sites.google.com/mcpsmd.net/walter-johnson-hs-course-bulle/9th-grade-info?authuser=0

Here is B-CC: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1omOjmST8HEQQ-BXftkgdPqZZyPH5waQ7qBa7mJvO5Fk/edit#gid=821950602[/quote]

Same offerings at my kid's DCC school. Honors English for all. I don't understand why different math courses exist but all 9th and 10th graders are apparently on the same level for English. [/quote]
