<p>in my school, so many people take honors history and many are very incapable. then, when it comes to other honors classes, there are barely any kids in them. we have 3 sections of honors us 2 and all are full with 28-30 kids each. then, for math, science, lit, and forgein language, they only offer one section with no more than 24-25 in it. for me, i find history to be the hardest one because I suck at remembering all those pointless events and dates and dbqs are not my forte. and in history, you relearn some much of the same stuff, it becomes so boring. anyone have that situation in your school where honors history has many more idiots than other honors classes do?</p>
<p>No, but AP Psychology has a lot of kids in it who normally don't take APs.</p>
<p><em>Raises hand</em> We've got a kick<em>ss world history teacher, so naturally the class is full of idiots who have heard about him from upperclassmen and hero-worship him. Aside from outright </em>*ing me off, it brings the quality of class discussions down considerably.</p>
<p>Our APUSH class is no more full than other honors and AP classes. Unfortunately, our school has no honors history at all, just civics and global studies for 9th and 10th grade, US history for juniors, and a combination of Sociology, Economics, and I forget what the other class is. Then there's APUSH for juniors and AP Gov for seniors. No honors. And I was homeschooled for 9th grade so I didn't take civics, but I hated global studies with a passion. Dumbest class ever.</p>
<p>There's an AP Stats class at my school. Only 5 people in it, but it's really challenging. Gotta love it!</p>
<p>My world history honors is screwed up. The teacher never gives us lectures and makes us do essays everyday using the school books which never give enough information! And all these other dimwits start their assignments on the day before it's due and they get A's while all the other people who work hard and finish early get C's. Our teacher has a reputation for being pervert and I think he only gives A's to people who look good....pshhh!</p>
<p>Haha I'm right there with you, trader. The APUS (junior year) and Honors US History 2 (soph year) classes are so full that there are more honors/AP sections than regular sections. It's insane.</p>
<p>The second most common honors would have to be language arts, then math, then science (least common).</p>
<p>theoneo, mines goes like yours only theres less in math than in science and the least is actually honors forgein languages</p>
<p>Interesting, my school implemented a HUGE reduction in honors history for frosh, sophs, and juniors for next year. Unfortunately, it won't effect me because I'm gonna be a senior next year and we just have AP anyway. Before we only had cp and honors for frosh-jr, but now they are throwing in traditional. For this reason, they are cutting the 3 honors sections to 1. In a class of 26, 17 were sent to CP for next year and only 9 to honors from my us2 teachers us 1 class. She said only 10 of the 30 kids from honors world get honors us 1. I wish they did that for my class and I hope they eliminate some of the more idiotic kids that take honors from taking AP, but we'll see.</p>
<p>Classes at my school have a minimum of 15 students...don't have that many, and the class doesn't exist. My junior year, the sophomore AP English class (technically H+, because it isn't AP till senior year...but it is still preparing for the exam) almost didn't make because the class behind mine seems to be lazy (all the teachers agree). The english teacher had to beg students to sign up for AP...</p>
<p>MY friends honors calculus class has 9 students and we need 10 to have a class but they suprisingly didn't "dismantle" the class. My AP Calc has 32 kids and everyones trying to transfer from the honors to AP because the honors is basically = Cp and the school doesn't get the idea that they should just have 2 AP Calcs.</p>
<p>None of the APs in my school (with the exception of APUSH) have stupid students-they are too scared by the rigor of APUSH, the only AP that sophomores are allowed to take. In there, about 85 students out of the 400 members of the sophomore class sign up, and many of them have no business being in an AP course. Class discussions and expectations (pace) are all held at the same level, so they cannot bring the rest of the class down. It usually results in a lot of people with Ds, since most pass. Such students tend to never take an AP again.</p>
<p>Haha, that is so not true for my school. H Social Studies, especially H World History, are THE hardest honors class. There were people who go 50 averages in that class WITH all the extra credit, which added about 7 points. Naturally, they all transfered to advanced WH, which is a step lower (Some advanced classes get to do taichi, yes, taichi). H bio has a great teacher. The saddest H classes are H Algebra II and H English. In English, there are people who don't usually take H classes. In H Algebra II, there are people that require 10 times repetition, but also, the teacher skips steps teaching problems and has made some people afraid to ask questions. My forte is math, and in that class, my brain has to work on high just to understand why she put the bracket for synthetic division left of the number AGAIN.</p>
