[QUOTE="svengandhi, post: 71650, member: 3493"] I just posted about this issue from the other side - I am fighting to get my son into honors classes. He is going into grade 8. Last year, I succeeded in getting him into honors math and he began actually doing his homework, studying and participating in class - because he felt challenged and respected as a student for the first time. His teacher told me he belonged in that classroom. I am trying to get him into honors science this year - same deal. More and harder homework but the opportunity to be challenged, to excel and to gain self-respect and self-esteem. Try it - the worst that can happen is that he won't do well and will go back to regular classes. And who knows, maybe he can inspire his friends so that they'll try to get into the H classes themselves. [/QUOTE]
