The assholes have me slotted for honors English 4 instead of regular. I find this very annoying because English isn't one of my better subjects. I made A's in the classes two years in a role only because the classes were easy. They are gona go and cause me way more work to keep my all A's and B's with this crap next year. What bull. I wouldn’t have done so well on those standardized tests if I knew they were going to do this to me for it.
I can see the benefits of both ways.
Our district allows the students to choose (as long as they have the pre-requisites for the particular course), and we like that too. The downside to that is that some kids think they can handle classes that they cannot, and it can drag down the whole class. My daughter has a friend in Honor's Algebra 2 with her, who just can't keep up and is failing. Everyone would be better off if she was placed in the correct level.
It cannot be emphasized too strongly or too often that this great nation was founded, not by religionists, but by Christians, not on religions, but on the Gospel of Jesus Christ! For this very reason peoples of other faiths have been afforded asylum, prosperity, and freedom of worship here. - Patrick Henry
