<p>I don’t think the Honors Program is a ‘prestige’ thing at Swat. Many very bright kids don’t do it. They might be looking for more breadth than depth in subjects, that’s why Honors does not suit them. Have you seen the Swat DVD? One of the kids there says she is not doing Honors because she would like to explore many subjects and Honors will restrict her. Honors will not help you with job placement. Grad school placement, it might - since it shows you can do exploration and research into a subject.</p>
