The fact that my son took algebra 1 honors a couple of years earlier than his agemates doesn't mean he did any less work or learned any less than did they, and by golly, he deserves the 5 points toward his GPA as much as they do.
Does your high school actually give an extra GPA point for Algebra I? My dd's school doesn't give extra GPA points for honors classes, pre-AP classes, or college classes taken while in high school. AP classes are the only ones for which they get the bonus GPA points and, in math, that doesn't occur until AP calculus or AP statistics. Algebra I, Geometry, Algebra II, precalc, college Algebra, and trig all do not give bonus GPA points, whether they are honors or not.
