<p>If your daughter desides to take Honors, she should try to take the class with the best English teacher. She should work as hard as she can to get above a B, not only for the grade, but in order to learn the subject. Competitive colleges will doubtlessly require a proficiency in English that should be equal to the AP level. Her reading and writing skills will be vital for history and even the sciences. Encourage her to take honors, go for extra-help sessions, work with other students, and do what she can to improve.</p>
