[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Parents of sophomores who took "honors" English: was your kid prepared for AP English in 11th grade? That's my concern. My kid was bored in 9th grade "honors" and next year seems like more of the same.[/quote]

AP Lang was the first time my DD thought English was a worthwhile class. [/quote]

MCPS said it is going to be piloting a new AP option for 10th graders that will count toward the English requirement because it will also cover the English 10 requirements -- AP Seminar: https://apstudents.collegeboard.org/courses/ap-seminar

That seems positive, though it still leaves "honors" English 9 as the only freshman option at most schools.[/quote]

Is there any additional information available about the pilot? (Which schools, for example)[/quote]

To my knowledge, they have not yet released the list. They did say that if it goes well they expect it to be offered across the county.[/quote]

Where/when did you hear about this pilot? The board has to approve new pilot courses, and I don't recall this being one of the recent submissions.[/quote]

They went over it in an AEI feedback council meeting earlier this year.[/quote]
