We can change this but we need people to show up and explain to the directors the harm this will cause to ALL students.
Please find time to attend at least one meeting.

Anyone know why Blanford has canceled his meeting?

And, if the instruction is not as rigorous, wouldn't that be a negative for the students who would have chosen Honors if it were a choice?

I have been happy overall with the level of academic rigor expected of my kids at GHS (health class notwithstanding -- what a wasted semester that was for both my kids). I'm also extremely pleased with the non-academic skills and knowledge they are gaining that will serve them as adults in a society where curiosity, problem solving, communication, resourcefulness, empathy, and creativity are going to be more important than whether they can score highly on an AP or SAT test. Students who fail to learn those skills are going to be less successful adults, no matter how rigorous their classes were or how high their GPAs were.
