We have the same issue with not enough periods in the day. But here, both and honors and AP sciences are all one period plus a second period every other day. It certainly limits how much kids can take. There are lots of kids here who choose taking AP science over music or art, because kids can’t fit all those things in. We really debated about skipping the honors courses, but in the end the heavy workload scared me off- our kids already spend way too much time on homework, so we opted for the traditional path. Hence the repetition, and they won’t have APs in all the sciences. I love that our school tries to equal the playing field for all students, but I believe it ends up hurting the most advanced kids.
