Amen! I’m sick of the whining. My daughter goes to a public HS here in San Antonio and is in pretty much all honors and AP classes. The counselors told us that “regular is remedial”, which pissed me off even more after I learned that the school gets more money if kids take honors and AP courses. Not sure, but I think the teachers also benefit financially from teaching the “higher-level” courses.

I did ask the counselor this last time what the definition of “remedial Physics” was. No real answer.

Makes one wonder if government can ever have any policy that doesn’t cause perverse incentives.

I believe the answer is “no”.
