Honors and AP courses are designed for students who have demonstrated an advanced level of interest and achievement. The rationale for honors and AP courses is to offer challenging, higher level courses for students who aspire to an advanced level of learning. Furthermore, students and parents should be informed that honors and AP courses are more demanding and have requirements beyond those of standard courses.
Whether or not my child receives a teacher’s recommendation for an honors or AP course, I still desire for them to enroll in the course. I also understand that the course cannot be dropped once it begins.
