has once again come up of
honors classes and their im-
portance in school. In a re-
cent teacher’s meeting and
at the Parent: Advisory
Council meeting, the value
of: honors: classes was as-
sessed again, and some dis-

agreements arose.

We are » involved in the
music program at school,

_ and it is an optional course.

We choose to be there be-
cause we enjoy it and want
to be there, learning. An
honors designation of a
class is the same, being an
optional course for those
who enjoy and choose to
take it.

Different students excel
in different areas, and
choose courses to their lik-
ing. A person’s motivation is
what impels them to take a
certain course.

Honors courses are not
compulsory, but an option.
Therefore, it is difficult to
consider honors courses
discriminating when the
choice to take it is based on
an individual’s motivation.

Honors classes are. of-
fered with the same purpose
as. any. other.
course: to provide students
with the environment to fur-
ther. their knowledge and
experience in an area of

study that they enjoy. If.

honors. classes are. abol-

ished, the learning standard
will be lowered and brought’

--to one general level, as op-
