<p>Most kids take college or below. ~44% of kids from my school were able to graduate from college within 6 years, as of last year. Yeah, my school’s great.</p>

<ol>
<li>AP</li>
<li>Honors</li>
<li>Regents</li>
</ol>

<p>There is never an AP and an Honors for the same subject, and there is a MASSIVE drop off between AP and Regents. Students are almost forced to stay in AP even if they don’t want to because Regents is the only other option.</p>

<ol>
<li>Honors</li>
<li>Regular</li>
<li>…Below regular? Haha I don’t know what to call them. (Lol, they’re taking all the courses a year later. So honors and regular students both do bio during frosh year, but the “below regular” people do it sophomore year, etc)
I go to a small school, and nothing higher than honors is offered. Honors and regular students take the same courses, but the difficulty level and amount of critical thinking needed is different.</li>

<p>This is how my school works:

  1. AP-Which is rarely taken. Out of the few people that do take it, most don’t take the exam.
  2. Dual Credit-from the local college
  3. Honors-Less available with each grade.
  4. Regulars
  5. Remedial
  6. Credit Recovery</p>

<p>I’m sorry but one post have been bothering me:

I was going to allow this to slide but I keep thinking about this every time I am on here.
Like how can you call people “dumb”. Like they may be smarter than you in doing something else.</p>

52

<p>^
If no one is dumb, then “smart” doesn’t mean anything either.
I think “smart” is kind of a silly way to describe someone, though. It’s not even really a compliment because to call someone not-smart is considered offensive even though it really shouldn’t be. And “dumb” is rude on purpose so it shouldn’t be used. </p>

<p>I think there are different kinds of intelligence, but what people are typically referring to when they describe themselves as smart is academic aptitude, possibly common sense.</p>

53

<p>How about “less advanced”?</p>

54

<p>It’s still weird because it presumes that “advanced” and “smart” are the norms. If “smart” is to mean anything as far as being a compliment/description, then the average person shouldn’t be considered especially smart, just “of average intelligence.” Not dull but not brilliant either.
And not being smart doesn’t make you a moron…just like not being skinny doesn’t make you obese. There’s an intermediate stage that most people fall into.</p>
