honors class question

<p>I'm currently in regular English 11. Midterms are at the end of this week. I just found out that Honors English 11 is offered during the same class period. <em>I didn't know that before. I came home from an exchange in January, and my counselor just wrote up a schedule for me and handed it to me the day I came back.</em></p>

<p>If I were to switch out of regular English 11 to Honors English 11 after midterms, would I get honors class credit on my high school transcript? <em>a 5 instead of a 4, etc.</em> Or is this something I should ask my counselor?</p>

<p>Ask your counselor. Every school is different.</p>

<p>isnt it kind of late in the year? did you do honors last year?</p>

<p>Special cases can switch classes at midterms.</p>

<p>1)People who want to move to a more advanced class
2)People who want to move to an easier class <em>for example, if AP U.S. History is too hard for you and you're failing</em>
3)People who need to make up the second half of a class <em>if they failed it or were gone from school during that time period</em></p>

<p>Strangely, the only honors English class that my school has is for English 11.</p>

<p>Ok, I'll ask my counselor about it.</p>

<p>Yeh, transcripts can differ between districts.</p>

<p>I'm in a similar- but less negotiable- situation. If I could somehow earn Honors credit for Band in 9th and 10th grade, my GPA would improve a LOT and I'd be #1 in my class. Too bad that isn't going to happen =(</p>

<p>Sorry to hijack this thread- I needed to rant about the above, but can't do so with any of my friends, lest they label me a self-absorbed, pompous brat. I'd rather have random people on the internet think that... haha.</p>

<p>haha, it's ok.</p>

<p>I wish I were more serious at the beginning of high school. Now I'm cramming in the stuff I still need to take and the other a-g classes I want to take before graduating next year.</p>
