Honors english?

As a mom of an Honor’s student, attending an on-line public high school, and a class at Running Start Community College, my advice is that you should do what your heart tells you..As a nurse you are going to need the Math and Science, and one class of Eng.101 for your pre-requites…

Focus on the Math and Science but be sure you have enough English Grammar to write eloquently…You will need it in “college”…and you need three years of Eng. to grad. high school so focus on writing… The answer that tells you about the college level credits, is correct….Ya know, you should just worry about High School for now, and leave the rest for later..You have lots of time but only one chance to get a good grade point average in High School..you don’t need Honors or AP track to do that!

God Bless !

i’ve been taking all honors in highschool and really it’s not all that hard if you’re up for a bit of a challenge…plus usually with freshman year no ap classes are offered…(but may be different for your school) but why not? it’ll look good and you’ll feel better about yourself because you’re better than the regular english class people…either way is fine really…it’s just whether or not you think you can handle it….and really see what you’re teachers think….if they think you have the ability to take the honors english class and go through it with ease why not? i think you’ll be okay….don’t worry too much

I took all kinds of Honors classes in high school. To be honest, I don’t think any of them made a bit of difference in anything. Colleges didn’t care that I took Honors English while my friends all were in regular English; they didn’t care about any of the honors classes, really. They checked my overall GPA and that was it. Seriously, the only classes that *really* help are the ones that give you college credit–which means you need a class that offers concurrent enrollment with a college or to pass the AP test for a course.

Look, I have been taking honours English my whole school life. It really, REALLY pays off. It’s not harder – its the same work as a reg. class, just fast paced. And just so you know – there are really stupid kids in the reg. classes…no offense to them, but wow….Colleges prefer to see honours and AP classes. So suck it up.

Depending where you go, English can be a nightmare!
