That does sound screwy! Good luck with honors. I could've taken it but I chose the easy route. I regret it at times but I'm thankful I went the way I did. A lot of the kids in the honors class annoyed me--they always thought they were superior. They were in English but they always bragged about it. And the people I had in my classes were cool so I was happy. English 12 for me was taking honors anyway though with the teacher I had!

Word, Madness.... I was in the exact same boat, and I decided not to go the AP route. I had a reputation to maintain. I couldn't suddenly show up in the smart kids class! I think that the regular teacher was way better anyway. We've been having a banned book discussion over on the FOL board, and I read most of my favorite banned books in regular English 12. The kids in AP just read Lord of the Flies, Macbeth, and Hamelet. I read all those plus Catch-22, Slaughterhouse Five, Catcher in the Rye, Merry Wives of Windsor, and Taming of the Shrew (my favorite Shakespeare play). I remember reading a couple of others too, but they were for extra credit.

(completely ignore this post, it's just that no matter how many times I hit reload my computer refuses to let me see the new posts on this topic so I'm wondering if my posting in it will help at all)
