[QUOTE="skeeter, post: 71611, member: 439"] NL was it "regular" English last year (10th grade). He missed some homework first quarter (not unusual) and his teacher called me. She felt he honestly NEEDED to be in honors English and was quite surprise he hadn't tested into it. We talked about what it would take to get him in this year. She said as long as he got an A the last two quarters of the year, she'd have no problem convincing the school to bump him up - but HE had to step up and do the homework to insure he got that A. She felt that he was "dumbing" himself down to fit into the regular class and would be much happier in honors. He managed to get those As, and is now in English AA for 11th grade. So far (we're only 3 weeks in) he's doing great. He is also in Anatomy and Physiology AA. Perhaps this is the "push" your son needs to really work to potential? [/QUOTE]
