<p>Good luck to you and your D, ww812su! I echo what Magicalspork said earlier–in the 2 high schools we’ve had kids attend, the kids who opted for the “regular” English classes were generally not the top-caliber students, and it showed in their attitude towards class activities, projects, assignments, etc. I was a teaching assistant in our “old” high school with an English teacher, and it was an eye-opening experience to be with kids the same age as my D, but with entirely different work ethics (or lack thereof). If your D is generally an A student, she should be just fine in honors English. Best wishes and welcome to CC!</p>
